Re: All that money... What about the caps? When people start hitting their caps they will move to the service without them. |

250 gigs compared to all we've read around this website is a HUGE number and really is there to stop the abusers from affecting the rest of us. And remember, that's with existing capacity and infrastructure.
When d3 is rolled out nationwide and higher speeds are the norm personally i'd suspect they'll be even more flexible.

My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. He said, If I have a chance to invade if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it.I'm going to get everything passed that I want.

Increased speed doenst mean increased volume.
Just because you buy a faster car, doesnt mean you will drive further in a month. |

1 edit | said by baineschile:Increased speed doenst mean increased volume. Just because you buy a faster car, doesnt mean you will drive further in a month. Really ? Of course I would drive further, because it would use LESS time.
If I had to drive 3 hrs or one hr to reach a place WILL have an effect on my decision.
If we we would look at the longer trend, say between dial up and broadband access, surely increased speed did not mean increased volume. It is just that AVAILABILITY of speed without artificial caps brought us the Internet we have today. If short sighted policies driven by greed would have succeeded then, where would we have been technologically today ?

Hello, it's not about abuse. The "abusers" never affected any other users, just overall usage and maybe the revenue from CC's video business. The heavy users were targeted on a nationwide average usage model.

said by Rick:really is there to stop the abusers from affecting the rest of us. Why, in 2009, is this even an issue? Maybe they should spend some of that advertising budget on advancing technology so one or two users can't kill the port.
But you can really parrot their PR machine. |
