VM installed my 50mb yesterday...

The bloke wasnt very friendly and was questioning me about why i need such fast internet and what il be using it for, he then went on about how i should be very aware of illigal file downloading and sharing as they get a report every month saying who is downloading what.. are they trying to scare us or are people actually getting letters caus they download with torrents and rapidshare etc?

On the other hand he said certain firewalls will slow down your internet as they cant read the packets fast enough.

surely that goes without saying:D

I had my 50 meg installed on saturday and although the install chap was very nice, curtious and gratefull of the irish coffee, he didnt seem to know much about the 50 meg kit or even what docsis it ran on.

They can only tell what your downloading if they use DPI or get your IP address from torrents or p2p progs
