Re: FAP The problem, as I see it, is that once the company starts, things only get worse. Satellite internet FAPs are in the range 7.5 to 15 GB/mo or 200 MB/day (download, uploads are typically 1/3 of the download limits) depending on which service you use. The only difference between accounts is the price and the download limit. Cell phones use similar limits simply to make more money; my family has to pay the extra $20/mo because we typically use 750 minutes between our three phones but the cutoff is 700. In summary, I predict that if the cable companies implement FAPs, they will not be 500 GB, they will be 20 GB for the first tier, 50 GB for an extra $20/mo 100 GB for an extra $50/mo; and we will have no choice but to either stop using YouTube etc or pay through our noses. |
