250GB monthly cap is reasonable... though it should be like Gmail, and slowly increase every day as they add more capacity
BAHAHHAAAAHAHAHA. 'Add more capacity' he says! What a joke! Everyone knows that it's those damn bit torrent users slowing everything down, and not the fact there's way too many subscribers per node than any node can currently support!

Re: why so complicated?

Don't Forget, The internet was never designed to do what it does now. It was originally designed for Text Based Information sharing. After it started coming out they figured that it could pass pictures also.

And anyways, Why should there be caps and throttles on a product that you/we are paying for "Unlimited Usage" on. That's like getting a Cellphone with Unlimited Talk, and then when you call someone, you can only talk to them for five minutes at a time per day. And if you talk to them for longer, you get charged more.

And don't forget the article didn't point out that ISP's started with Pay per Usage. As I remember, you got charged by the minute when the net first came out, then moved to by hour (rounded up every 30.01 minutes(AOL)), and so on till Unlimited Usage by Month.

And, as WhyADuck said, "...there are sellers and buyers, and the buyers get to see the price ahead of time and either agree to buy from that seller, decide to buy from another seller (which may offer lower prices or better quality), or decide to do without." The Easiest way to show that you disagree with someones prices and/or services is to denie them your money. If you look at the stock of a store and they don't carry what you want, you tell the Manager of the store that you can't buy it there and then go where you can, or you just don't buy it at all (I have gotten several stores where I live to carry Dr.Pepper this way, and most to carry more than just the 20oz).
