This is EXTORTION This is ridiculous, the FEDS need to step in and do something about this.
I got preschool kids that are on the web watching video clips everyday (Disney, Cartoon Network, Noggin, etc.)
My wife is on the web watching music/videos almost every night.
I stream at about 3/4 soccer games on the net every weekend. Games a few times a week and torrent some anime almost everyweek.
All these activitites are LEGAL. With a CAP of 50GB, I don't stand a chance.
This is EXTORTION by the Telco/Cable. |
| if you signed up for their service you agreed to all that legal crap, thus basically allowing for caps. by definition alone for 'extortion' i wouldn't call caps extortion as long as the cap is reasonable size and overage fee is reasonable. making an oversimplification and ignoring many things, caps is really not much different than: paying for gas by volume, electricity by kilowatt-hours, long distance by minutes, cell phone usage by minutes, water usage by gallons, and so on.
before anyone says i support caps, i also don't like the idea of caps in general, especially absurdly low caps.
with all this caps crap going on, i wonder how well a caching proxy server would do to reduce bandwidth... |
