| it's not UTOPIA putting the caps on, it's the resellers.
get pissed at AT&T and the other companies, not the municipal fiber wholesaler. |

Be glad you don't. For we would then have to point and laugh at you for your ignorance. |

Glad you do not live here, that way those of us who want UTOPIA and understand what it is, what the limits are, and how the system really works do not have to put up with your whining. I wonder, since you hate to have our (not yours) tax dollars spent on UTOPIA, why are you using the internet? That was paid for with one heck of a lot more tax dollars than UTOPIA is suppose to take since it took the government in conjunction with academia to create the net, not 'private industry'.
Actually, one of the ISPs that you can get with UTOPIA (or DSL), Xmission, does have provisions for more down load volume at $50/100GB. The 100 GB cap is their way of balancing the email checkers who need to gulp a M$ fix occasionally and those who have various up/downloads like Linux or streaming video or even 'pirates' getting a music fix. Unlike a few other companies who have a vocal 'presence' here, Xmission tells you up front what you have to pay and what you really get for that payment, no waffling on hidden caps and changing the rules for different areas.
And Xmission does not care if you share your connection, just be wiling to pay for extra bandwidth if your 'friends' move too many bits.
Disclaimer: I am a customer of Xmission (my 9th 'ISP' in over 25 years) and I do not have any stake in them other than I think they are doing a good job balancing all aspects of the business and do not want them to fold or sell out to comcast, verizon, qwest, MSN, or other national ISP.
