and this is about the ONLY circumstance that would push me back to dial-up.
They can pretend its for congestion all they want, they are not fooling us.
(same as the anti-child porn motive is used to push site blocking blacklists which include anti-gov, anti-abortion sites.. ect) |

That is such a shortsighted decision. 10GB a month during prime hours plus all you can eat overnight is more bandwidth than a vast majority of broadband users use every month.
I'm on the internet all the time and my avg monthly usage runs about 7GB/month(that includes a desktop pc, a laptop, and a Wii internet connection.
If you can't get by on that, how do you expect to use dial-up and be happy with it. Your threat to go dial-up is nothing but an empty promise.

Gaithersburg, MD | Technically, those uses would violate most providers' TOU restricting account usage to personal and not business use. That doesn't make it any easier to swallow, tho'...  |

Let me fix Karl's editorial...
"The cheapest plan costs 11.99 pounds ($17.67) per month. Use is capped at 10 gigabytes a month, except for unlimited use between midnight and 8 a.m."
Instead of...
"The cheapest plan costs 11.99 pounds ($17.67) per month. Use is capped at 10 gigabytes a month, except for unlimited use between midnight and 8 a.m."
So I would guess two things. First this would be similar to their DSL Lite but with unlimited from midnight to 8am.. Secondly if this is their cheapest plan then they must have higher tier plans. I dunno, for the price and the unlimited after midnight it looks like a decent deal to me. |

This really isnt at all enticing, the point is your can drive this car, but when you reach 50miles, then car turns off. I easily go over this in a month. But if there would be no reason to use this service, so dial-up or wireless would be a better choice. Just because somoene offers a service doesnt mean i have to buy it. I would would consider myself an un-served demographic.

your consumption numbers are one case. i would say that your useage is *much* below the normal family of users.
if you want - you are free to move to the uk though. i'm sure they would love the whole anti-socialism spiel

You wouldnt happen to be a granny in a wheelchair by any chance would you? Seriously..SEVEN gigs a month..why are you even bothering getting high speed?? You are a waste to the rest of us. Just do us all a favor and go back to dial up for your browsing and email and let the rest of us get what we paid for.
Usenet FTW. |

You are a waste to the rest of us. Waste? I'd like all my neighbors to be like that poster. People using so little are paying for the higher users. Kinda like the neighbor in the big house with no kids. Their taxes pay for yours to go to school. |
