Oakland, CA | I will fork put Do I like paying $140 a month for it? no! but do I have a choice? no!
As much as I download I guess it pays me back at the end. Hell I get all my movies, tv shows, and other illegal activity from there. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | It might not be ethical(the ISP isn't being so why should you?) but if you have a neighbor who is willing to split the cost with you, you could split the cost of a GOOD wireless router that will cover both ur houses(put in a WEP code and others if there are any) and you can BOTH have unlimited inernet(one will bo via wireless only though) its not reselling, and the cable ISP can't get you for ANY law violations, cause as far as you are concerned, your just letting you neighbor use for some reason, and for ever. It WOULD only be $70 for both of you and both of you would have unlimited acces. |

Saint Louis, MO | Now that is an idea. Only I would run a Cat6 cable between the houses. |

unfortunately the problem is that our ISP's are all lazy and do not want to actually provide a product, and also if you guys really are angry about it, start a petition against it, and then state in the petition that if the demands are not met that everyone signed will disconnect service..... (GET LOTS OF NAMES)
Personally I believe that any product is to be tailored directly to the customer, the customer does not have any caps, so why should their internet connection?

That would work, but too much may tip off the ISP, where as with wireless has NO traces, and is next to undetectable, but you could alway burry the cable. |

said by blazecom:start a petition against it petitions don't work. what works is calling and actually cancelling your service and telling them the reason why. many people have to actually do this for it to work. even then, it's a long shot because charter is so far in debt they need a bank style bailout from the government. |

Can't run CAT between houses. Different ground states. You'll short out your network adapters in short order. You'll need fiber or BNC. |

Saint Louis, MO | We have run Cat5 (underground) for lots of sites without issue. Guest houses, apartments over detached garage, shops out on farms, etc. |

BNC would do the same... anything that can carry electrical current will have that issue. Look into Polyphaser for boxes that solve that problem. Well, I guess if they're whining about Internet speeds and prices, they'll certainly whine at Polyphaser's pricing. |
