Gainesville, GA | so What is the point of them offering more speed when said speed is useless?!
nobody needs 10mbps for web browsing.. this type of bandwidth is aimed at the bandwidth leechers that easily reach 300gb+ monthly.
When will people wake up to what is going on? Keep screaming you want more speed.. they'll give it to you.. thing is you can only use it for 2 days out of the 30 you are paying for. Sounds good doesn't it |

| Why is it useless? Why assume that people buy high speed connections to keep them maxxed out 24 hours a day? Speed of transfer doesn't need to have a constant relationship to amount transferred.
Granted there has to be some reasonable relationship between the two. For example a 10mb connection with 5GB monthly transfer would be useless. Still there are probably people who would like the speed without necessarily wanting to use it 24/7.
For example someone wanting to download a linux iso might be able to do it in 10 min with this connection vs. 1 1/2 hours with a slow dsl connection. Such a person could do something like this well over 100 times a month with a 100GB cap. Is this useless? Not for everyone. Some people don't use the connection constantly but want the speed when they do use it. |
