Re: Caps?
I hope not! A throttle yes, cap no, unless it is a 1t cap.
If they want to make 768k not broad band they had better hurry up and serve more areas then. In some all you can get is 768, maybe less. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | Why? Slower speeds for a short time then back to normal speeds, with no one telling you how much you can up/down load sound better then a cap to me. |

Because I don't want my Internet speed slowed down whenever the company feels that it should be. It could possibly hinder my Netflix watch now viewing, hulu viewing, and other stuff. |

Sorry but 1TB just is not enough for people who telework and deal with a lot of large data sets. I used close to 2TB last month and luckily Verizon could care less. I would have no problem with a throttling system so long as it does not effect HTTP/S, VPN, DNS, and EMail traffic and is only used when the network is heavily congested and in that case there needs to be documented proof. |

Yes, it could, but they will not tell you how much you can do, just make it take longer. A cap does more or less tell you how much you can do. That said I would rather have an ISP like FiOS no cap no throttle just pure internet. |

Thats why we still need business packs with no cap, like comcast's. Verizon still has the best deal IMO. |

NO caps, no throttling... 
Here is a novel idea, PRICE it as if I will use ALL of it.
If you can only deliver, on a 24/7 basis, 5Meg/1Meg, then tell me that and price it at a REASONABLE profit.
None of this "UPTO" crap! 
Let people decide how much "speed" they want to pay for, and then DELIVER it...

Because the internet is a shared medium and no one will guarantee a specific speed "no matter what". "UPTO" is the only way it can be offered and not be lying about it.

| Nope, never said it was, I was just commenting that it seems that FIOS delivers what they advertise.
So if they can do it, why can't others be truthful in what they can actually deliver, not what they MIGHT deliver...

| My cable company currently offers what they advertise. So I'd suggest that like any other service, the quality of your connection to the Internet will vary from location to location and provider to provider. As much as you don't agree with him, TK's point is valid. |

| So you would have no problem with your cable company offering you upto 100 HD channels, yet you can only get 20, but your friend in the next town, can get 80 HD channels from the same company, for the same price.

It's more like all the time. Sure every download starts out with the "power-boost" fast speed, but after the first 2 min, your connection is automaticly throtted to god awful slow speeds. |
