Subscription - Bandwidth Priority
Monday, August 18, 2003 by cjorli | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Do paid subscribers get bandwidth priority? It seems that lately Wincustomize has been extremely slow (so much that I'd rather go do something else that come to this site), so I was wondering if the paid subscribers get some sort of priority on the network thus accessing the site faster.
I'm cable so I don't think that I'm having an issue at my end with speed. I also know that Wincustmize has a tremendous load, so I'm not trying to sound whiney about this. I just figure that priority would be good incentive for me to pay for the subscription (along with supporting a great site!
)

When the bandwidth gets tight, the first to get cut is the visitors and non subscribers. So the answere is yes.

ha... yeah I think I did hear something about a blackout
I've been having some slow down issues for a while now (pre-blackout). I think it might just be peak hours usage. Anyway, I think I'm going to subscribe when I get paid this week (woohoo!)
Thanks for the input everyone.
