| no thanks If my ISP injected Ads into my browser then I don't expect to pay anything for the service. That's IMO, although companies are already doing this (Directv with the H20 are starting to inject ads into the H20's guide and prices increased...ironic) I guess pay more for less is the "in" thing these days...

Valencia, CA | I think I'll be going OTA HD soon enough, with TV prices soaring. I'm able to get 19 OTA HD channels with a pair of amplified rabbit ears.

it's possible their own ads and whatever else they
"inject", can put you over the cap. 
What a deal! They put you over, then charge you for it!
Can you say Hosts file? |

I only do OTA HD I live 30 miles from Minneapolis and get 10 HD channels and 21 digital channels that are rebroadcasts of SD channels. Screw paying cable or dish to see what I can get for free or pay a small monthly fee to get in my mail. |

These days, its all screwed.
a) Throttled/filtered (Bell / Comcast)
b) Capped (Rogers / Time Warner)
Now add injected ads to consume MORE bandwidth... oh wait, they're making profits on both ends.

I can probably do better if I get a 'real' antenna (I'm 30 miles + 1 mountain range away). My inlaws in the San Fernando Valley get 53 HD OTA channels.
