Telefonica tambien impondra un control sobre las lineas duplicadas
by Daniel Olivera -Mate.Cosido 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Estimados: Acabo de hablar con Atencion al cliente de Speedy. Me informa Belen, que no tienen toda la informacion, dado que el servicio de duplicar la velocidad recien se comenzara el lunes. Me dice que dicen que si impondrian restricciones al volumen, pero que no pueden confirmarlo "oficialmente" desde el ISP por ahora. Pero que el cambio a la linea con el doble de velocidad contratada es opcional y puedo no aceptarlo y quedar en la situacion que estoy ahora, 512Kb sin restriccion de trafico. Le comente el volumen que yo muevo actualmente y que una restricion como la que aplicara Telecom, seria perjudicial para mi actividad profesional. A lo que me dijo que en mi caso lo mas conveniente es que me quede con mi plan de 512 que no tendra restricciones, que es como esta ahora, que fue como tome el servicio. O sea segun telefonica la duplicacion no es impuesta sino que es un opcional, medio de facto (Si no te quejas o averiguas te abrochan!!!). Otra cosa, el precio a velocidad duplicada, se mantiene igual que con la velocidad contratada actual por un año solamente. Luego, se puede abonar el valor de la linea con la nueva velocidad o volver a la anterior. Eso es lo que me dicen por ahora. El lunes consulto nuevamente y les cuento mas.

la experiencia australiana
by gerardobdiaz＠arnet.com.ar 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

La esperanza no está perdida. Este australiano comenta que allá, una vez que te comiste el umbral te bajan la velocidad a 64kbps fijos. Será eso mejor que los u$s 6 por gb supong? Es feedback del artículo de Cassia en the inquirer, supongo. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19480 --begin quote-- Charge them by the Megabyte, show them who are men Hi, I\'ll tell ya what, \"charge by the megabyte/gigabyte\" is not a new concept. It began with Telstra Cable, here in Australia. Back in 1998, it was like 500MB per month and 25 cent per megabyte! (I recall racking up one hell of a bill just to download Debian Linux!) (Interestingly enough, a more generous version was adopted by some US ISPs as it was generating huge profits...But it didn\'t last long...) However, today its largely unlimited usage but speed is shaped to 64k (8KB/s) once you go over your monthly planned usage (about 10GB or 20GB depending on which plan you go for). In addition, there\'s \"unmetered sites\" that allow you to download distros and other goodies at no cost to you. (and at full speed...I get 10Mbit speeds!) So what Argentina is just starting to experience, we Aussies have been buried with it for quite a while. Not to worry, hopefully, ISPs wise up when they start loosing customers. They most probably will eventually give you unlimited usage, but shaped speeds. (This \"forces\" folks to pay extra if they need more usage, otherwise deal with slow speeds). I guess it depends if the Govt will step in, that\'s what happened in Australia. The Govt body known as the ACCC put their foot down about how unfair the Internet plans were, and how these practices like \"charge by the usage\" will hamper the adoption of broadband services for all Australians. (less people are likely to sign up because they have to keep an eye on the bloody usage!). So, many of us Aussies know how you Argentinian broadband users feel.

Introduction of metered ADSL in Argentina causes nerd rage

Introduction of metered ADSL in Argentina causes nerd rage Telecom Argentina orders: Pay per gigabyte By Fernando Cassia in Argentina: Miércoles 03 Noviembre 2004, 09:40 Their communication with people from all over the world and access to most information resources are not going to show up itemized on a long-distance bill, because the leased lines or network links are already paid for\". \"The Internet Companion\" Tracy LaQuey, fw Al Gore, 1992 THE TWO BIGGEST telcos in Argentina that still control most of the basic telecommunications infrastructure are preparing to start metering broadband access and impose transfer quotas on their broadband ADSL customers. The company serving largely the northern half of the country has taken the first step. Financially troubled Telecom Argentina, originally owned by Telecom Italia and France Telecom, and now with the French stake replaced largely by the local \"Werthein Group\", said last weekend it will double broadband speeds for all subscribers, and keeping the same prices. That means that customers who were paying for 256K will be migrated to 512K, those that pay for 512K will get one megabit, and those rich enough to afford a megabit link will get their speeds increased to two megabits. Upstream speeds will also be increased for those with speeds above a megabit to 256k from the previous paltry 128k. The company is giving out under the plan four gigabytes per month of transfer quota for the lower speeds, and eight gigabytes for the more expensive plans. The extra bandwidth usage charges will start to be billed in mid-2005, and the company expects to have an online \"bandwidth log\" site so customers can login and check their own bandwidth usage working around Q1 2005. Under the scheme, users who exceed the quota must pay at a rate of around $20 pesos per gigabyte, including taxes (approximately $6.7). Telefonica de Argentina, while still silent on this, is expected to follow suit with a similar plan. Broadband ISPs in Canada, the USA and the UK are - to my knowledge - respecting the \"all you can eat\" tradition of not measuring data transfer volumes by their residential customers. Imagine if the FTTH (Fiber to the Home) being deployed in the US came with bandwidth quotas and charges per GB. Telecom\'s site has a FAQ file -in Flash format like the rest of the site - explaining the new scheme. It tells users that this measure is taken to provide \"egalitarian access to all out customers\" (sic) and that metered payment is \"the only worldwide used option to provide performance and quality of service to broadband customers\". Of course, a side effect of this move is to punish peer-to-peer users. But law abiding customers will be hurt as well. Have these brains looked at the size of a linux distro these days?. In the case of SuSE or Sun\'s latest JDS distro, it\'s six CDs to get the basic set, and up to 10 CDs if you want to get the whole shebang. That would mean local users who download a Linux distro would be left with around 400MB of bandwidth to use during the whole month for other assorted downloads, downloading e-mail, pictures, or visiting \"heavy\" flash infested sites like the telcos\' own. The death of unmetred broadband puts a question mark over the future of broadband internet access in Argentina. While deregulated in theory, this is a highly concentrated market dominated by the two incumbents. The local telcos own the copper loops, and they lease their respective \"IP backbones\" and infrastructure to competing broadband ISPs. Despite the fierce but geographically limited competition from cable TV providers and their \"cable modem\" service, it\'s the incumbents Telecom and Telefonica who still hold the keys to the \"last mile\" to the customers when it comes to DSL service. Another administration back in 2000 had ambitious plans for deregulation and total competition, even hinting about plans to set the rules for phone number portability and \"local loop unbundling\" - meaning the copper line going from every phone to the phone switch would belong to the customer rather than the company, letting customers easily choose to which company to connect the other end. That administration ended up escaping on a helicopter in late 2001. µ See Also Broadband in Argentina 100x slower than Japan and Sweden Broadband in Argentina now only 50x slower than Japan Expocomm Argentina 2004 coverage European Union hearing on local loop unbundling __________________________________ Registrate desde http://servicios.arnet.com.ar/registracion/registracion.asp?origenid=9 y participá de todos los beneficios del Portal Arnet.
