well, this is my own opinion. Abusive in the sense that you are using the dsl connection in downloading mp3,games or software from different P2P website, software and alike rapidshare, limewire(etc.) for profit.I guess that is what the globe mean for abusive internet usage. Well, I read one of the comments that says they are “paying for their hard earned money”, but how about the people spending lots and lots of money hiring the best programmers to create such program and all of a sudden disseminate using P2P? I am not trying to post this because I am not using even once a pirated software or played pirated mp3, just want to share the sense responsibility. PEACE!

[...] hates me when I’m using P2P. Don’t know how they did it but it is the case now. I read on a tech blog regarding the same issue. There were mentions of an ISP caps which “could” probably be [...]

I’m a new globe internet subscriber here in Davao… and guess what… I haven’t had connection for 8 days now… their excuse is always about “network restoration”. Thank God I didn’t sign any contract. I won’t pay them my first bill if this continues for a few more days. But definitely I’m cutting it out… even if I have to pay the “free installation”.

@Agrimensor – I was told that the big bosses at Globe are looking into that fine print in the contract. Will post an update once they get back to me.

abusive users? or maybe overbooking? check out my post below to fully understand the situation. ISPs always suffered with this and also the subscribers, lol…

private ba or public ang IP address ng mga subscriber ni GlobeDSL?

if it’s private then, it is probably p2p is causing the slow internet connection due to flooding the NAT table of the router since P2P uses too many network connections for every subscriber.

Some filters are smart enough to detect certain kind of traffic regardless what port it runs on.

To better understand bandwidth in the perspective of an ISP:

1. if for example an ISP advertises 384kbps and has 100 subscribers, it’s upstream bandwidth is NOT 384kbps x 100. the common practice is to oversubscribe, otherwise, malulugi ISP business, lugi lugi negosyo.

2. When an ISP advertises 384 kbps, they assume that you will never ever going to use that 384kbps 24/7. The rest of your bandwidth goes to other subscribers.

3. Now this is where it gets complicated. With P2P, it is very easy to saturate your 384kbps. So your ISP’s assumption on number 2 is longer true.

4. That is why. ISP’s such as Globe provides conditions for P2P.

5. Some ISPs advertise speeds as “upto 384 kbps”

6. When you are subscribing to DSL or cable connection, don’t assume that you are getting the advertised speed, as the only way to get the advertised speed is getting a leased line, FR, etc or other forms of connection where there is an strict SLA (service level agreement)

But i do agree that whenever bandwidth is available, you can do whatever you want with it. Provided you don’t violate your ISP’s terms for subscribers. Otherwise, find another ISP.

Just my two cents.

Booo! i’m not a globe subscriber but this sucks. I say all these internet providers should stop showing false advertisements!

Yeah, Globe sucks! They shouldn’t have said that they offer “Unlimited Broadband” if they would cap on the bandwidth! (I’m using their Wireless Broadband 512kbps because their Wired Broadband 1mbps is not yet available in our area). And speaking of bandwidth, they are misleading people too!! And unfortunately I’m one of the victims of this scheme. They’re saying kbps, but hell, if you’ll check it twice, their “kbps” means “kilobits per second”. I really thought its “Kilobytes per second”. Kaya pala “kbps” at di “Kbps” ang nakalagay sa advertisement. (idamay na rin yung mbps, “megabits per second” pala yun!). At NTC, please naman, kailangan pa bang pukpukin bago kumilos! You might not get a lot of complaints but hindi yun dahilan para di kumilos! O baka naman may nabibigyan ng “lagay” diyan sa NTC at di magawan ng paraan.. huh?

Woops. lol. The Yugatech readers who wanted clarifications of what “abusive” means are mostly into P2P.

I myself does P2P, but i only have done it maybe less that 20 times in two years as a subscriber of Globe.

I watch movies in theaters.

Abusive simply means that they will pry into your internet activity, rape your privacy and deem you abusive.

Digitel and Globe must have been sharing ideas.
