Re: I hope they don't do this at my ISP

The whole argument is LAME.

WHERE IN ANY RESIDENTIAL BROADBAND CONTRACT is it STATED UNLIMITED CONSUMPTION??? The only thing unlimited is your TIME connection... vs the days you were billed by the hour. You have the speed available ON DEMAND... so pages don't take 3 minutes or occassional files 3 hours.

NOWHERE in ANY OF THEM says were they guarantee this bandwidth FULL BORE 24/7/365, which is what all to many are bitching about.

You want, that GET A BIZ account where the pricing is in line with that usage!!!! RES pricing NEVER had that in mind. (AND the VAST MAJORITY DON'T use it that way either)

On the other hand, when it is stated "unlimited", in the absence of any counter-claims or restrictions/clarifications - where does it say that unlimited only applies to time spent online? Doesn't "always on" make that claim primarily redundant, and thus more logical for the customer to be led to believe that therefore the claim of "unlimited", does in fact apply to the overall amount of data transfer?

Also, I've never seen any residential (or even most commercial), that will give you bandwidth (transfer rate relative to unit time) "on-demand". Maximum bandwidth on residential is capped at whatever your speed is.

But bandwidth is not total transfer amount.

Most say "best available", or don't even say. They don't outright guarantee it, however. If everyone tries to use it "full-bore", then the service will slow down due to contention, because of oversell. Oh well.

PS. The "Caps Lock" key is on the left side of the keyboard, just above the left "Shift", but below the "Tab" key, on every standard PC keyboard layout that I've looked at.
