Permanent throttling on RapidShare and MegaUpload

[drifterdave]

I pay $250/month for 2.5 MB service as I use the internet for business.

You would think that at $3000/year for internet I could use whatever website I want whenever I want.

I can now use rapid share because I have gone wireless but when I had explorernet i could hardly download anything and when I could i would just stop because the speed was only 5-7kps on my 1meg plan.

Wireless internet is spreading like crazzy, I live out in the bush and now have wireless internet at $39.95 per month for 5gig of data and $10.00 per 1gig after that. You think that explorernet would offer better service but it's been getting real bad that's why I dumped them last year because I could not use the internet to surff the way I wanted to unlike there claim "Surff the internet like never before" which is B.S.
I cant wait till wireless internet is available every where so then explorernet customers can use there dish for a bird bath like I did.
I read in a magazine last week that within 2 years there will be no need for sat internet in Canada!!! I can not wait for that day BYE BYE EXPLORERNET AND YOUR CRAPPY SERVICE.:
The other great thing is that wireless internet is getting cheaper and cheaper because there are choices unlike sat internet.

Honestly wireless @ 10.00 a gig is not an alternative. (ie; overnight i can download 5 gigs on xplornet)

It might be consistent but in the long run way too much money unless you are a casual surfer with email.

Nice but not a realistic option to replace broadband.

I have been fighting with them since Jan. 26th over slow speed issues. I am satellite 1mg pk. Speeds are as low as 243kb uploads 57 After fighting every day for 2 or 3 hrs they have turned it over to tech 3 admitting there is something wrong. However 5 days later not fixed
I pay for rapidshare and hotfile and when it comes 8am drops from 91kb to 1.2kb in a matter of seconds Have complained about this but they say problem is not theres. Stays like that till about 230am
Is there anything we can do. Would it help to contact rapidshare
To make it worse our gov. here in Northumberland county paid millions to them for wireless
Please respond

Have contacted rapidshare support as I pay for their service and asked if they could help us
They will lose customers if this keeps up. No one is going to pay for a service they can't use
