Re: 5GB?

So what about areas where there is no alternative? I live in an area where there are no cable companies, no other DSL provider choices. Frontier has a monopoly here.
I do not like it, however I ain't about to move to get silly broadband, that's a totally stupid idea suggested. All broadband in the home is, is just a want, a luxury item.

To Telcos offering dsl & dish TV or other services, it's the life or death of a corporation. Go with the alternative and let them sink, as I will be doing come the end of September. Refuse to be ripped off. Chit can Frontiers dsl service, do not buy their dial up service. Frontier can go choke on the big one and their dsl for all I care. They need me more to buy their service(s), more than I need or them or their bottle-necked, restricted internet service.

Life will improve, no CSR headaches, no service outages, no losing $40.+ dollars a month which can be better invested or enjoyed elsewhere.

With out religion your are more suceptable to manipulation. Look at china, they banned religion. It's much easier to manipulate people who don't have any religious convictions.

Forget downloading anything.
That's the whole point. As this story illustrates, they plan to offer services for sale over their pipe, by the Byte (or by the GB), and they don't want sales of those services cannabalized by their unmetered (but capped) internet access offering.

Exactly, moving to cable service to ditch this 5GB bullshit !!!!

frontier can stick their pipe up their azz, after they pull their head out of it, unless they have enough capacity for both. Then by all means frontier, enjoy the experience of both options at once, your greedy executives certainly earned it.

frontier, you may want to carefully examine that same cavity to discover methods to attract new & retain current subscribers, who will not find 5GB 30 day BS limit attractive.

Goodbye Jackflush, Dishnet work and landline. Hello faster cheaper Comcast internet & cable service. Time to move over to Verizon cell.

Hey frontier executives BYTE my pipe you greedy bastid smart imbeciles.

Ive done 15GB this week. I would never be able to use their service. Forget downloading anything. You wont be able to. I think my mother uses more than 5GB a month, and she well, hahahaha. Get it.
