Re: Student Solution

Why three, some lawyer at the time probably thought it reasonable for someone to have three computers at home.

If more than three use it. Well you need a router which is what faces the CM, so NTL find it difficult (though we are told not impossible) to work out what is the other side of the router.

I suppose the real concern is bandwidth usage. As a guideline you are not supposed to download more than 1Gb a day over your CM. Fairly hard for one to do, obviously when you have 5 individuals using the line for separate purposes that results in 200Mb each, a far more likely number to be exceeded.

What will happen to having to many machines connected - nothing. StuartBe on here looks like he as more PCs connected than there are in the NTL mail server farm.

What will happen if you consistently download over 1GB, well if you are in a busy area on the network you will get a stern letter. What happens next so far appears to be nothing.
