Re: Another solution said by RayW:True, and especially since some refuse to say what the limits are but still hit people with 'excessive' use. The reason limits are mentioned is because it would be used as an advertising tool by the competition.
If the competition were to capitalize on excessive use caps, then that would bring the funny. | |

That is what I like about my ISP (Xmission), they say up front what the limit is, 100 Gig/month. It was 24 Gig when I first started with them, but as the price of bandwidth went down they raised the limit AND they sent out an email telling us that we had a higher limit. Unlimited access and usage up to 100 Gig, truth in advertising.
I pity you other folks that have to put up with misuse of language in an advertising environment.

I suggest you look at the site www.newnetworks.com . It's kind of perplexing so many people see the telcos as the victims, if they throttle their consumers' use of their service after misleading ads, it must be because a few pirates and P2P nuts are ruining it for everyone.
It's like if someone pays $50-$60 (a ridiculous price) a month for high speed cable from Time Warner which they advertise as being good for videos and music, and then decides like many people to use it for more traditional services like TV and phone, they're unfairly taking advantage of poor little time warner who's just trying to be fair to everybody.
Well, how about these companies upgrade their networks to handle the load, instead of sweeping the problem under the rug and treating their customers like crap? In other countries like Japan and S. Korea, they have much faster internet service (100 mbps and more) for much better prices. The US is sort of the laughingstock of the world in broadband, sad for the country that invented the Internet. It seems if this is such a problem, rather than asking how can we get people to stop using the internet so much, a better question would be how to upgrade it so it can accommodate new services like VoIP and video. | |
