Wireless ISP has benefited too

I've seen an increase in business as well. People find out that paying $50+ a month for fast web/e-mail isn't really worth it when $10 can get you nearly the same thing for less hassle.

And NO network management traffic shaping caps/throttling/priority packetizing.

Funny how the more things change the more they stay the same. Back in dial up heyday, you were charged for every minute you were connected. Now the providers want to charge by the byte using flawed/unproven/secret measuring devices.

You're 100% right, even says so in our FAQ, good reading
About the only thing it does do is try to stay optimized to provide the fastest speed possible to everyone that uses it.
