 | you guys dont get it do you. Working for a large ISP myself i can tell you that SBC, Verizon, or whoever can decide what traffic they allow on their network. The reason is it's their network and they own it, If they decide they don't want Vonage on their network then they can block it without fear of anyone (even the FCC) Nowhere in their terms does it state they have to provide unrestricted access (Full Port usage)
Nor does it state you have to stay one of their customers unless you signed a contract stating so. |

Most do not meet the DSL distance spec, and are forced to use cable, assuming that it is available in the area. That is why cable companies are regulated, because they have a "given" monopoly is an area. So, since they are the only choice for broadband, should they not be more customer friendly... regulated?... oops, I forgot, they are the cable company, scratch customer friendly... |
