Billings, MT | I have an answer.. It's GREED.. Yep. They're noticing that alot more traffic is going through their pipes and they're looking for a way to profit off of it.
They didn't expect that newer generation technologies would take advantage of the bandwidth people are PAYING for. Instead, they whine about it and on top of the connection speed the customer is paying for, they want to limit the amount transferred.
It's like having a new car, driving it for 500 miles, then having to pay for each additional mile or miles.

does that make more sense?
they will boast that a mile is a lot, it will take you half an hour to walk a mile... it like saying you can only drive 1 mile a day, anything over is going to be overage charges... this of course makes obsolutely no sense
this is just plain robbery at gun point...
the japanese, korean, netherland has 100mbit pipe and has no limit in usage. they are getting more for the same price that most american paid for these lousy dsl, cable crap 
what a sad sad world we live in where corporate greed are all that matters... we the consumer are sucker for these scum bag...
correction, they notice that they can make even more profits by charging extra on usage without having to subscribe more user... all they need is some bs excuses or statistic to convince we the consumer into buying into their metered nonesense... | |
