| Average User.....
I really can not wait for the "average user" to start getting more into things like online backups, and online video services. It is going to be real interesting to see the excuses these Isp's come up with as to why they are throttling/shutting down peoples connections, or how they try to fudge the average numbers to still say the average use is so small.
Really interesting to see a commercial or get a peice of mail from one isp bashing the other about speeds and what not, and quality of service and their push to sell these services but when people sign up and use it for anything other then what they used dial up for the isp's whine. If there was half as much effort put into stopping alot of the spammers, botnet's, and hackers in general they might not have such a bandwidth crunch. But god no we can not go after some of these people they might lose some of the free advertising from the spammers or the infected computer full of pop ups.
Will also be nice to see tons of people start using netflix, or what ever online legal video service they can find to see if they still try to blame the excessive bandwidth on illegal downloads.
I know a lot of people who refuse to get broadband due to nothing more then the bullshit they read about stuff liek this.
It's too bad the government or whoever doesn't make and enforce as many rules to protect the consumer form these corps as they seem to be doing for the corps. I mean putting a lousy movie on the internet or downloading a copyrighted song carries more of a penalty these days then confusing the hell out of someone in say a cellphone contract and then wapping them $85k, which is tantamount to theft, but that is ok. I say we all should just cancel all internet service and cell phones and let these companies go to hell. Nice pipe dream though lol. |
