Well I will let them know by my wallet. Any company that does meter billing. Will never see my green. Thank god I dont live in a time warner area. But I do live in a AT&T area. Since AT&T is talking meter billing. I lost interest in there service. Even with uverse coming to town. I will not pay for caps! |

Smoke signals?....
If you don't take a stand now, and get your neighborhood together and threaten to cut their service if they don't get rid of the caps, we may as well just make HSI a luxury for rich people. Saying you will go with another provider doesn't make sense when there isn't another choice. |

Vote with your wallet? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You cannot do that.
Example of me in a MAJOR big city:
Stay with Comcast: 250GB ATT: 80GB for the DSL(only thing available in Chicago, sad, isn't it?). ATT still has no fiber in a major ass city. Obviously having a massive density is not a concern for laying fiber. All of you living in the rural areas are being lied to. ATT does not even give a crap if your city is full of people. Satellite: Damn my online gaming is going to suck hard on this! Dial up: Super sexy blazing speeds of 56K. What a great competitor with no caps. Let me jump on it.
I guess I can vote with my wallet... NOT!
How can you vote with your wallet? By going to dial up? I guess that is an option if you want to wait years for downloads and do not want to play a single online game or anything. If I cannot vote in a city I am wondering how those in a rural area can. |

1 edit | Uh, if you *and* everyone else would give up online gaming for a month and switch providers, I'm sure you'd be welcomed back with the service *you* want. But since you're unwilling to give up even the slightest creature comforts to fight for what you want - you're getting what *they* want. |

I agree with the others on this matter, you have no voice. It isn't any different than government. Only difference is people seem to think that businesses can handle you business better. When monopolies are involved: what a joke.
What if all your options are metered? Are you just ganna not have internet? I doubt one loss will do anything. For most, internet is becoming a necessity. I think this whole thing will certainly push the whole 'internet as utility' idea up. --
