For all the bad about caps...

A price for life guarentee does sound pretty appealing.

Sorry it's only a 12-month price-lock, not life.

yep, like promising you gas at 1.50 a gallon, only you are limited to 1 gal/month. If you use more the price is 7.50 a gallon up through 10 additional gallons, then 15.00 for 11 or more gallons.All printed in draft mode font that's so light and so small(4 point or less) plus being buried in 25 pages of legalese and strung out in various locations as to make in almost invisible to the untrained reader.

"Industry stock jocks positively drool over adopting such a system"....are these the same stock jocks that trashed my annuity, pension, and kids future?

And then the media wonders why people snap!

These TOS agreements should be simplified to bulletpoints. I received one from Comcrap a couple of weeks ago and couldnt tell you what it said. Written for lawyers by lawyers.

Boy that isnt good. I am hearing a lot of rummors in Whittier that Time Warner is going to take over Charter Cable area here. Things just keep getting worse.

I find it hard to believe stock analysis would approve of this. How can you on the one hand sell bandwidth, then on the other deter its consumption?

Thats a situation begging for a spin-off.
