said by NOCMan:How about quit stealing content. Hmmm. Don't assume he is stealing because he is using P2P. To many legit things to get now and plenty of alternatives that are free. I use P2P for Linux distros and a variety of other legit stuff.
I have argued for years now that streaming media would come into its own and caps were a way to squash this. ISP's are starting to directly compete with old cable TV business models and these cable companies are not happy realizing what if's. What if most people move from current cable television to online television? Cable TV companies and even at&t, which is now deploying u-verse, will lose customers to the internet side as more and more people drop the current TV business model for an internet TV. These companies realize that they control the internet ISP side. You can guess what the answer is to stop these what ifs, yep caps and overage charges. Especially, as streaming media quality increases. As the speeds increase so to will quality which will put more people over or beyond caps. Anyone here imagine watching on demand streamed video content over the internet 15 years ago?

Re: they have not boot me off yet Let me get this straight, We pay 42.95 if bundled or 52.95 per month for HIGH SPEED INTERNET. On Average 5 tp 12MB Service. There has to be a legit reason for giving this kind of speed to the paying public. So why cap it if you are paying for it. Broadband internet is extremely cheap. Get up off your high horse. Watching 2 hours of streaming video per day would put you way over cap according to them. Get a life and some common since you twit, Or are you working for them. |
