said by R0CKY:said by AkFubar:I am outraged as much as the rest of you at this decision. I would however, like to know what the bottom line effect is to me as a Teksavvy customer. I will wait to see what Rocky's interpretation of all of this is.
What it means is this will likely require some restraint from the heavier downloaders from month to month until this gets sorted out. We'll all need to make a concerted effort to curb our downloading to ensure we don't give a dime more to Bell than we need to. We all know this is a cash grab and anti-competitive tactic, so what they're not expecting is our actually falling in line for a sec, organizing ourselves and figuring out how to fix the mess they're attempting to make.
They're not playing nice to all of us alike (customer/competitor) so, I think right now is time to say ok, you've won this battle, but the war is far from over! We have something they don't have; informed users that know just how to work the internet, computers, etc..... so, I think the next move will be one where we take a breather, setup shop and dig in for the battle that will be!
Um..waving the white flag? I dont think so. I wont go to Bell, but I sure wont have my ISP dictating to me what I can and cant download on my PREMIUM subscribed newsserver (or VOIP, P2P, whatever). It is unreal that no backup plan exists for this predicament. Just UNREAL.
