Re: Who gives a F**k!
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. |

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. |

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.

So what's the Major city? i have a very hard time believing that you only have only 4 choices. |

| First - read the post, CHICAGO!
Second - I live in a suburb of Atlanta and my choices are Comcast, AT&T DSL, Satellite and a wide variety of Dial-ups; PERIOD! |
