Like a 1 MPG car

This company's business model was like selling a 1 MPG car. Lots of power, lots of cool features.... Great until it comes time to fill up.

Then customers junk the car because they can't afford to fuel it, and the company finds itself failing -- just like GM with its gas guzzlers. And just as deservedly.

People seem still to be forgetting that bandwidth costs money.

Blaming the ISP in the situation described in this article is like blaming gas stations for GM's woes.

@senescomarine.com

you know what there is no excuse what so ever they have been taken tax breaks, and been subbed by the local, state, and fed gov for years on years to lay wire.
this is not just the telco or cableco its both of them
yet now that its the age of internet web tubes what ever you wanta call it

now because instead of using all of that money that got, and the tax breaks and what not
they have done nothing but lined there pockets and the local gov that they paid off to continue to do busniss as usauly

like i said some one else on here

these companys will continue to screw the costumer till its not longer a profit to them

if they go and overcharge every one say a total of all costumers say 1,000,000 but they only get a fine of say 200,000 then so what they was still a profit of 800,000 on there screwing every one

get it till the fine fits or out weighs the crime they will continue to do bisnuss as always

when they make a fine worth it like say a pay back of 3:1 then this shit heads will stop with it

My ISP has never gotten a tax break and has never been subsidized by the government. We get our customers the best service we can at the most affordable price that our costs will allow and on razor thin margins.

Kindly quit bashing us just because you're greedy and want something for nothing.
