Re: Uhm...you are REWRITING HISTORY! said by fiberguy:I think you're an idiot. Becuase my opinion differs than yours, I'm a shill. I think personally you're a 5 year old with no life... The moment you can grow up, participate in a discussion with out bringing in your goofy drug induced conspiracy theory, maybe this site will actually be worth what it used to be - that is before romper room came to play... OK, so who's the 5 year old?
said by fiberguy:Next time you call in to a company threatening to cancel your service, knowing damn well you're not, just remember all these stupid rules that come to play with caps and other BS surcharges and fees. There WON'T be a next time because I don't play that game. If I call in to cancel service (like when I dumped Comcast for DSL), I'm not looking for another "promotional" handout for six months, I actually cancel the service.
said by fiberguy:...with out bringing in your goofy drug induced conspiracy theory... This is no conspiracy theory, it's as plain as the nose on your face. AT&T and the cable companies are implementing caps to protect their video services. They don't want their broadband customers to use competing services like Netflix and iTunes. Is this competition? Is this a competitive market place? Yeah, sure.  |

Second, I don't agree with caps.. I never have. BUT, I DO agree with overages if reasonable. If you don't want to pay overage charges, don't go over. However, I support ANY ISP in placing an overage charge at a certain level to protect their business model and sustainability. OTHERWISE, what you wind up with is a telephone and possibly cable companies that can't compete with what often amounts to piracy and those businesses that chose to operate as leaches on the back of their COMPETITION.
Yes, there HAS to be protection in place for the competitive market place or you'll have cable and phone spending billions to run networks while companies like netflix, amazon, iTunes, etc. spend a very small percentage and take no risks to the greater system to push their product an make a buck at the same time.
Again, it's your socialist agenda at play here that is clouding reason. |
