Re: [TWC] OMG I Feel so violated! What if someone got KILLED?
yes the op does not offer anything other then bitching that TWC "killing his voip line" due to a TOS issue tho he reverts all answers against the poster, instead of answering questions
however it maybe FCC rules but a "compromised system" such as port scanning, TWC and any other provider is going to lock that connection or kick your butt off that system UNTIL its resolved, again falling on the END USER!!!! it is and i repeat it is the RESPONSIBILITY OF AN END USER TO: maintain that broadband connection no matter how you slice it.
if you dont know how to setup a proper firewall HIRE someone to do it. its no different then taking your car to service it for "maintenance"
a GOOD FIREWALL will prevent the likes of being hacked, taking proper steps to STAY AWAY from "hacked" sites ie: the million porn sites, sharing apps/files sites thus compromising a system is also the END USERS RESPONSIBILITY not the ISP's. many think i got a pc, lets see what i can see for "free", hear for "free" get for "free" and most will goto any lengths of doing it without thinking RESPONSIBILITY!!!
hell im going to patent BB Insurance for the ......should i say it..............  |

said by plvick  :First I got the dead RR line and then the email from Time Warner accusing me of theft... now they throttle my connection? I think my line is specifically being targeted now. So, how to test... or what to do? THAT is the real question. For everyone... what to do to get a better line? Not just for this new P2P issue, but in general? What if I was "special" somehow, and got an untapped line?  How to be "special"? (note, not "illegal") Can you restate your questions? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Are you trying to fix the internet disconnects? If so post the signal levels of your modem or a better description of what seems to cause the disconnects.
Are you trying to have more reliable p2p connections? If so post your current p2p configuration including software used, version, connection counts, router make/model/firmware, and if encryption is being used.
Are you trying to fix problems with your VOIP? Post your VOIP setup and provider details.
Are you trying to track this throttling? Post details of what happens and we can help better.
So far your postings lack critical details to provide ANY REAL HELP and nobody here seems to be suffering the same problems as you. |

2. many innocent people have been accused of illegally sharing files, and been proven innocent. No, many guilty people have been rightfully accused of illegally sharing files but weaseled their way out of it. Having charges dropped, settling, or having a jury find you innocent isn't the same as being "proven" innocent. |

OMG I Feel so STUPID!
said by plvick :The bigger problem is now they are totally throttling my P2P bandwidth. You keep saying that you haven't done anything illegal and thus don't deserve this treatment from TWC, but in your second post, you claim that you DO use P2P. Let me guess, you just download a lot of copies of Ubuntu?
You keep saying that everyone is going off topic by saying it's your own fault that your connection is being throttled, but it's the topic that YOU started. YOU claimed that your connection is being throttled and that they accuse you of copyright infringment, and you admitted that you use P2P. You started this topic.
You also answered your own question - your connection is being throttled because you use P2P. If you don't like it, switch providers because TWC has every right to do what they are doing. It is in the TOS and AUP which you agreed to when you signed up for service. Also, they are like any other public business - they can refuse service to anyone for any reason.
If you don't like it, your only remedy is to cancel your service with them.
Also, if you're looking for sympathy from DSLR users, you've come to the wrong place. We as a community cannot and do not support illegal P2P. And we certainly won't feel sorry for you if you get cut off for doing it. And you have ADMITTED to doing it.
So shut up.

Re: [TWC] OMG I Feel so violated! What if someone got KILLED?
said by plvick :The bigger problem is now they are totally throttling my P2P bandwidth. In fact, if I so much as ping the wrong IP now my entire connection resets itself. That right there indicates the OP knows he was doing something illegal (how much LEGAL p2p do you know that is out there?).
As far as I am concerned, he is only trying to get a reaction and is just sitting back laughing at people's replies.

said by zen1 :
a few needed points,
1. it is against FCC rules to single out a service, such as P2P, and throttle it, and ISP's HAVE been fined for doing that
2. many innocent people have been accused of illegally sharing files, and been proven innocent.
3. under "fair use" you CAN distribute part of a movie, song, or program, so long as it's not the whole thing.
4. all of this CAN be substantiated, if not here, then in the ISP NEWS section.
1. One ISP was fined.
2. No. There has been only one trial, in which the accused person was found guilty. That verdict was later set aside. No one has ever been "proved innocent".
3. Absolutely untrue. Read the law. |

So if you have not done anything wrong then contact customer support! Sounds like you do have something to hide other than your weak grasp on the English language |

said by plvick :Your entire long winded reply is still based upon the premise that I must have done wrong. And according to TWC and RIAA, you have. This is why they shut you down.
Really, I am big enough to say that I have downloaded MP3's and video material on occasion, and that with it, I have broken the law. I just do it RARELY nowadays (only if my DVR did not record), and I never got caught.
Be a man and fess up.  |

said by plvick :No valid point? The POINT is: Receipt of a TWC compliance email or letter is not getting "busted", no matter how narrow minded you are. If TWC sent you something about downloading copyrighted material, they have the proof that you broke the law.
They are just giving you a chance to repent. |

He already said "are you kidding?" when someone recommended he call customer support. There is probably a good reason for that.
He also said he was having connection issues. I guess customer support can't help with that.
He wasn't doing anything illegal.
He is running p2p software.
He loses his connection whenever he pings a "bad IP".
I'm not sure why you would randomly ping "bad IP's" causing your connection to reset. Unless you were connecting to warez/pirate sites.
He has yet to answer a single persons question when he was asked one.
He has been hostile towards everyone here.
He is refusing to take any advice from anyone here.

Vote with your legs and change your ISP.
Time Warner needs to be taught that cooperating with the MAFIAA is bad for business.
Their stock price is at a 10-year low, I wonder why... |

Re: [TWC] OMG I Feel so violated!
said by Reinvent3d :If you are indeed downloading illegal material ... There is really very little illegal material to download on the Internet. I've only found a couple of sites which had it; and they are long gone.
OTOH, there is a lot of illegal downloading of otherwise legal content. Make sure you state the facts as accurately as possible. Including an acknowledgement that, outside of a criminal court of law, you can't prove that somebody was doing something illegal on the basis of the evidence presented by a typical RIAA complaint. Inside that court, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Outside of that court, guilt is not the issue; just a tort.

Last I checked, an allegation of theft can only be acted on by a District Attorney, or the like. For the instance of unauthorized distribution of IP, an allegation of theft in a civil breach of contract is just plain wrong.
However, without seeing the actual notice, nobody has a clue about what was alleged in the notice; and all discussion assuming the worst is, IMNSHO, out of line.

Re: [TWC] OMG I Feel so violated!
said by plvick :The "notice" was a self-expiring web page that had the info you want (like that is going to help their case; it's detrimental at best)... so I don't have it on hand (but I can regenerate that data if necessary). I suppose if you wanna chat about that sorta thing just PM me... but that is again going off-topic... So what's the file name? |
