 informpageNever Be Satisfied join:2003-07-09 Forest Hills, NY | Bandwidth Hogs Why do people attack people who use their bandwidth to the full extent? If that taxes the system, then sell a product that can be supported, don't offer unlimited d/l, don't offer speeds you aren't prepared to back up.
If I buy a product define the limits and then leave me alone. |

You're the poster child of those that aren't taking the time to pay attention, assume a lot, and then make arguments on baseless information/date.
Where is this "unlimited" advertisement you speak of? Where is the "all you can use" advertisement that you speak of? Where is this "full extent" clause you speak of that says you're allowed to push it wide open 24/7? In fact, while we've been talking about the word "Reasonable" as people want to defend it, maybe it's time to play the devils advocate for a moment. Cocmast defines your service as "typical residential use".. Can you please demonstrate where it's "Reasonable" to think that "TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL USE" is to push the service 24/7 wide open? or as you say, it's "full extent?"
If you come back with a defense to that, then just be warned that you are also going to be digging one hell of a grave for your argument as well as many others that people here have trying to pin the ISP as a bad guy.
The one thing that is true in this nation is that you gotta pay to play. If you want more, you're going to pay more - it's how it works. A real moment here.. it's people like you who think you're a pioneer in some kind of fight for people in which you THINK you're going to make things better for people and score a victory, which in fact are going to do more harm for the masses under your own selfish desires.
by pushing this envelope so you can have what amounts to a business type use service is you will rock the boat so hard that EVERYONE will pay/suffer in the long run. Billing by the byte is what you will wind up with.. AND/OR a VERY expensive "unlimited" service which will be priced out of the reach for many people anyway.. ultimately, this will cause people to conserve and watch heavily their internet use which could also have some serious impact to ALL on line.
It's people like you that are opportunistic abusers. You like to take a good service with a pretty damn good terms of service and you want to be 'unreasonable' and find each and every way to push harder and harder and harder until you are slapped across the face AND HARD.. You have a residential line for about $40 a month but you want to argue every point to run it like a high volume commercial service and cry foul when you're taught a lesson.
The fact is that, a guess, 95% of the people who use these residential products are MORE THAN HAPPY and MORE that satisfied that they are receiving the value they were sold on the internet they have.. but the remaining 5% are going to make every effort to screw it up for the masses.
The terms of this product HAVE been defined... so I assume they can now leave you alone.
The ball is in your court.. I'm more than ready for your reply. |
