| Rogers and Bell played that game in Canada ... for a while The two traded customers quite a bit after a game of "You'll be capped with Rogers ... but we're not" says Bell, who then got all these folks on board and implemented a Cap. Rogers didn't cap, so people flooded back to Rogers. Then Rogers capped and Bell uncapped. They flooded back to Bell.
The trouble is they stopped this game, and BOTH implemented caps, amongst things like bumping prices up several times a year to "stay competitive" (that's called, if they can put their price up, so can we). In other words the ISPs decide they don't want to play the "Let's trade customers" game any more.
So, look out ... The DSL providers and the Cable ops will all get their heads together and all start capping soon enough. It's called the "free market" they say. I call it a cheat! |

Upper Marlboro, MD | Verizon is being coy. They are taking a wait and see attitude. |

Fort Wayne, IN | When Verizon starts offering video downloading and streaming sometime this summer, then what? Will they limit the types (and length) of content we can watch?
