There is no capacity crisis. It's an excuse to nickel and dime by the Megabyte.

Think about it. If there really was, they wouldn't offer subscribers a virtual Ferrari with all the gasoline they would need to travel at a constant 150 MPH if they only wanted them to take a spin around the block at 35 MPH.

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority.

or the cost of seeing a popup flash advertisement

You know, you have a great point! Why should I have to 'spend' my limited bandwith on an advertisement I didn't request to download?

I think there is a new issue for Congress to take up...maybe similar to the "Do Not Call" list, a "DO NOT ADVERTISE VIA WEB PAGE" list.

I don't want my valuable bits used up and costing me money when I go over my limit because some stupid advertiser shoves an ad down my limited bandwith!

Would you rather have limited content, ads, or pay for every site you visit? In the meantime, try Firefox + Adblock Plus. -Mike

I tend to agree with you on that point. The 'average' user (not the typical BBR user) wouldn't typically notice much of a difference between a 1.5Mbps and a 10Mbps connection for going onto 'MySpace', 'Facebook', or sending/receiving emails (sure large JPGS may send/receive in 3 seconds rather than 15).
To me, it typically comes down to the bottom line (not cost/Mbps, but bottom line cost).
Eg. I was paying $27/month for 3Mbps/512kbps and it worked VERY well, with no complaints. The ONLY reason that I switched to TWC 6Mbps/512kbps was because I got a better overall deal on price. $89/month for Voice, HSI and TV. I'd take a 3Mbps package if it saved and extra $10/month... why not. I don't _really_ need it.
