Re: Why Does It Have to Be One or the Other?

said by expert007:

Why not charge bandwidth 'hogs' a premium for going over the caps? Then the average Joe can go with a lower rate plan.
But according to certain industry apologists, they can not advertise what the caps are because company X down the road will add 10 MB to that and look better. Although I think my ISP (not related to the carrier - qwest) has not had any problems by stating that you have 100 GB total.

So I think think the hidden caps issues are just an excuse to limit getting better service in place for certain areas (after all, hidden means you can not compare what you are paying for in various areas).

Right, that's competition. But it would be terrible (in their minds) if they had to compete.
