Re: No Alternative's?

There is always an alternative, you can drop them altogether. Get a group of people in your area and drop them.
That really is all you can do. I've always considered Internet with ridiculously low caps to be the equivalent of a tool I cannot use. When AT&T lowered the monthly cap on my cell phone Internet, I dropped that too.

You know, this is inevitable. I don't believe for a minute that this is to relieve congestion as much as I believe it's designed to raise revenue. The tipping point in business where their market reaches saturation point, and they have to come up with new revenues to keep their numbers up. Once their numbers freefall because their consumer starts to leave, then the panic contingency happens. Outsourcing, layoffs, service cuts, increased fees can all be expected at the end of this cycle.

Then the restart of the cycle, the attempted image makeover (e.g. Sprint). The question I see is where is this company located in this cycle?

They would not be saturated in my area if rather than milk the existing infrastructure for pure profit they upgraded their equipment to compete with cable. Who wants 1.5mb/256kb ADSL ,POTS and Dish vs triple play cable at better than 4 times the speed?
