Totally agree! It is time that these isp's start upgrading or get out of the business. It the isp's fault for any bandwidth problems. Stop worrying about the shareholder and start worrying about the customer.
And will you be a customer if the monthly cost goes from $40/mo to $140/mo because of all the video flowing thru the system and requiring massive investment in new infrastructure?
The real question is, why haven't these companies been investing all this time? Why do they all of a sudden need "massive investment"?

These companies picked their own business models. They are the ones who have been sucking on the bandwidth tit, and not making investments. We should feel sorry for them now?

Get real..

And to your $140 a month quip, prices should be going down over time, or service levels should be going up. So far the prices are going up, and for most of us, the level of service is the same, or close to it, and not going up.

If you live in a market like I do, speeds are dismal and prices high, and there isn't much one can do about it.

Bleh is my final word.
EXCELLENT POST!

I believe that you bring up a good point. In there business model, with the amount they charge customers monthly I would believe that they would have it set up so they gain profit as well as money to re-invest in there infrastructure. More people would equal more income to invest. At least you would think this.

I think you have a good question.
