| Sucks for those who don't have FIOS! Hey, I admit it, I've used over 1TB/month, several times. Of course, when you have a 15/15 connection for $50.00/month, that's a pretty good deal. So far, this month, I've used a combined 940GB (up and down), and nary a whisper from my ISP. What am I downloading, well, linux iso's of course!
But, looking at them, if they HAVE a 100GB cap/month, then how in the hell can they justify a 3GB/DAY Cap? I mean, at 30 days, you could only USE 90GB. What is the extra 10GB for, free 'profits'.
If they can't AFFORD to PROVIDE those speeds, then they shouldn't SELL those speeds. Your 'cap' should always be the max speed you can go 7x24x30.
Why don't they just sell 1MB/sec, for $75.00/month. That would allow them to make a profit, and it sure as hell wouldn't affect grandma who checks e-mail every month.

kudos:6 | The 3GB/day caps are in place only in a select area and only due to growth problems. Rather than inflict all users with poor performance, they are throttling the heavy users. To me, a fair thing to do.
The 3GB/day caps are TEMPORARY. |
