Well my speeds are 20d/2u and when that measly 2mbps upload speed is used at all my download speed becomes not existent and slows down everything that uses Internet in my house. So if Windows 10 is uploading to users using at least half my upload speed I wont be able to do anything with my Internet connection without severe lag. Luckily I haven't noticed this happen on Windows 10 yet.

No I think it is more like they don't want their computer used for things they did not agree to.

This sounds like borderline malware, ms should have first received permission form the user/admin before this is even enabled.

It is a smart idea, i'll grant them that, however the way they implemented it is very shady.

Why should any portion of the bandwidth that I pay for be utilized by a multi billion dollar company to update their product.

Not everyone in the world has access to great internet speeds, a lot of people have to take whatever meager options their local provider has to offer.

Your acting like everyone has top tier internet and we can stream multiple 4k video sources per house, when we clearly cannot, at least not at a reasonable price point the average family can afford.

"People these days are just paranoid for no reason."

No stuff like this is exactly why people are suspicious or paranoid of large corporations.

Just wait till it's cracked and people start sending out false updates. Windows 10 is a privacy and security nightmare.

As this info slowly becomes public knowledge, do we know that all BS "features" like these can even be turned off? Ones that we perhaps don't know about yet?

If Microsoft is using their OS to sell our private data and our utilities to deliver services, and by default mind you, what lows won't Microsoft stoop to?

some professional software isnt compatible with windows 10 yet throwing unknown errors and constant issues.

and then theres the spying software that some people are not to keen about. forced updates for home users (WGA anyone?)
some devices dont work with 10. printers and peripherals.

on a personal note: i've upgraded to 10.....but linux mint is my default OS.

Or maybe Microshaft should stop using malware to push their spyware service? Win 10 is horrendous ( I have used it). It has few benefits over Windows 8 and even less over 7.

I would have agreed before but because they force updates it breaks some of my programs and there is nothing I can really do about it.
