1 edit | Want two tiers? Standardise service! quote:
"I, for one, don’t want to pay the same amount of money for bandwidth while a 15-year old neighbor spends all day sucking most of it up with his limitless, gray-market BitTorrent downloads. If my adolescent neighbor wants to spend all day playing high-quality real-time online gaming, he should have to pay for it."
Why does it need to be a neighbor? Why should the same broadband from the same provider be $80 in LA, $15 in NY, $200 in Kansas and not available in Podunk?
They want two tiers, they need to standardise their offerings across their service footprint, and offer it to everyone.
But no. That would "stifle" their innovation and the roll out of new speeds!
And even though I am no where near a teenager, I find it ignorant to single out teenagers doing such acts. That's ageism as much as it could be racism if you substitute "black" instead of "15 year old."
