Re: Perhaps if they offered a two tiered model..... 90% of the problem didn't even start until the cable dsl bandwidth wars. Who can bring the most to your door for the least.
If cable and dsl companies would sell reasonable packages, at a price they need to charge, this would mostly end. If 512 would be in the $20 range, to replace dial up. $30 to $35 for 1.5 and in the $60 range for 3m. This would solve a lot of problems. If 99% of their customers are not bandwidth hogs, they could live easy on the lower speeds.
I have throttled my router to 512 to see what it would be like, and one can surf very comfortable. Just some longer movies on news sites and Utube take longer.
The bandwidth war was a dumb idea and now it's back to bite the consumer. Sad :@(
