Re: Suddenly A Scam There are a few things that SL is doing right here. While the precedent of a bandwidth meter isn't that great from the perspective of the crap TWC tried to pull, SL isn't charging for overages (Sunflower Broadband anyone?) and they appear to be working on a sliding scale where 99.9% of customers won't be affected now, and won't be affected later.
While costs are dropping for internet access etc., a few heavy users might mean the difference between an (expensive) node split and not. If everyone's using 100GB, 200GB or 500GB a month then a company should absolutely adapt to that. However if I'm treating my cable connection like a T1 (hint: T1s cost more) and everyone else isn't we've got a problem on our hands. |
