Time Warner and the other bug box isp’s are going to be rolling out a “6 strikes” piracy program soon. Something along the lines of if your ip is reported to have illegally downloaded a file 6 times, they will throttle you or completely disconnect your service. Was just reading that the other day in bgr. ---

> [@08GT500](#): > > Is this a serious question? LOL Semi-Serious. I’d assume that if you are caught uploading illegally 6 times you’re out. But the poster above said file. \ From the article: > “No upgrade is required if you already have the 150Mbps speed and want to go to 300Mbps,” Verizon spokesperson Phil Santoro told Ars. “If you have a slower speed you may need new equipment, which we will provide and install for free.” ---

I don’t care about gig LAN most home routers won’t route traffic that fast When I worked at twc I would have to go directly into a Cisco 4948 switch and bypass smaller consumer grade routers to get über Internet speeds [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/have-fios-its-about-to-get-more-awesome/223409.md?page=2)
