Holy Crap

Nice to see using my VoIP phone for a couple hours and dealing with a few downloads and such will halve my connection speed. I understand they want to curtail heavy users, but it seems to me that this will curb even the average user, if not now, very soon in the future.

For the lower tiers, I'm rather concerned that normal usage will hit this, easily. The average web page is 130K* with all the graphics and such.

Once limited, then rate-sensitive applications like VoIP and streaming video could really struggle!
