Re: Port abuse is BS!

I don't see that clause in my AUP, it certainly isn't in section 9, as indicated.

And, as far as inundating their network with traffic... Isn't that what the bandwidth limitation in-bound is for?

I know for a fact that I'm not using more than 128k of bandwidth, that's all they give me with my current plan.

This won't save them much bandwidth since they rate-limit us anyway, so I can only deduce that it is solely to get more money from us by trying to deem us commercial.

*DSL on standby I guess*

1)The current upload cap is at a min of 384k

2) The clause is there in the AUP read it again
»www.insightbb.com/terms_conditio···ult.aspx

In the AUP Insight has reserved a extrememely broad range of right's in it...there are some in there that should bother a user...

Be fair
(a) Customers may register for multiple Insight Broadband High Speed Broadband Internet Se
*rvice accounts and e-mail addresses. Only one User may be logged into the Insight Broadban
*d High Speed Broadband Internet Service for any single log-in I.D. at any time. In the eve
*nt that more than one user is logged into an Insight Broadband High Speed Broadband Intern
*et Service single log-in I.D. at any time, Insight may terminate such account immediately
*and/or charge the Customer the full Standard price applicable to Insight Broadband High Sp
*eed Broadband Internet Service Pricing (without any discount under any Insight Broadband H
*igh Speed Broadband Internet Service offer) for each simultaneous User.

(*) WARNING 1 long line(s) split

Only 1 user using the service at a time? and we dont use log-in's per as they represent it...

and most importantly..
(b) Monitoring and Removal of Content, Postings and Transmissions. Insight does not pre-sc
*reen Content, postings or transmissions; however, Insight and its designees shall have the
* right (but not the obligation) to monitor any and all traffic routed though the Insight B
*roadband High Speed Broadband Internet Service, and in its sole discretion, may refuse, bl
*ock, move or remove any Content, postings or transmissions that are made available via the
* Insight Broadband High Speed Broadband Internet Service. Without limiting the foregoing,
*Insight shall have the right to remove any Content, posting or transmission that violates
*this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. Insight also reserves the right to refuse to
* upload, post, publish, transmit or store any information or materials, in whole or in par
*t, that, in its sole discretion, is unacceptable, undesirable or in violation of this Agre
*ement. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of an
*y Content or materials, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulnes
*s of such information. You also acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created b
*y us or submitted to us.

(*) WARNING 1 long line(s) split

the right to MONITOR ANY TRAFFIC and refuse certain traffic ie Bittorrent or P2P in general...

I could have sworn there was some other garbage from Insight that say's we wont/dont monitor your action's on the web but I can't seem to find it right now...

But the right's are clearly defined in the AUP and give Insight a legal "get out of jail card" for certain activities...

A full AUP breakdown may be in order...
