Lake Zurich, IL | Obviously... Like any typical DSLReports member, naturally I demand unlimited free internet with no caps, and any company that won't provide that is GREEDY and EVILLLLL. |

| Dont speak for all DSL members.
Yes, unlimited is always good for the consumer, but the broadband providers also have a point in capping. With many people sharing the network a select few (dare I say bandwidth "greedy") consumers spoil the show for others who find it hard to get even the basic speeds they have subscribed to...
Their tiers and pricing can be challenged for sure, but they really really gotta cap! |

| Either cap bandwidth use or cap speeds, not both. |

| said by lordofwhee:Either cap bandwidth use or cap speeds, not both. I have to very, very strongly disagree. I suffered DirecWay internet service a few years ago. The policy was to let you download as fast as the network could handle.....until you hit their 400Mb in a 24 hour period cap. At which point it cut you down to below dial up speeds for a day or two.
So I am not at all in favor of an unlimited speed with cap option.
I think 250Gb is reasonable for the standard 12/2 plan. But what would be the reason to pay more for a 16/2 with the same cap? And certainly not a 22/5.
