Re: I love..

Wait a second, since when is using what your paying for a point of contention. The excuse these companies are using to implement these traffic management systems is "the bandwidth hogs are using too much", and you've fallen hook line and sinker. First of all, (at the time) unlimited plans mean...pay attention to the keyword here...UNLIMITED.
In a rush to become bigger, these companies oversold already taxed networks. Now to placate the shareholders, the carriers have to figure out a way to incrementally upgrade because they can't spend whats necessary to upgrade their networks to meet the demand of an unlimited network.
In come the excuses...blame the bandwidth hogs...blame the lack of bandwidth, and best of all is that is mostly the p2p networks.
This is not an argument about "I want I want I want" , rather it's always an argument about "I want whats spelled out in my contract". Plus, what about the millions of dollars in tax incentives that were given to carriers from then President Clinton for the purpose of HSI?
Did you label them as greedy too because they "wanted it"?
