Re: lol I have no problem open networks but no one wants to pay for the upgrades to handle the traffic. The heavy usage end users like the unlimited flat charge with no caps. The low volume end users and everybody else hate when that flat fee goes up. I use less then 15 gig per month I don't care to subsidize someone using 500 gig a month if my ISP goes up on the flat rate. The content providers like Hulu and NetFlix and Google don't want to pay for the demands their content put on the last mile of the transport. But on sites like this everybody wants fttp and more speed but cut my flat rate charge. If this community wants better faster networks then somebody is going to have to come up with the money. Content providers, the ISPs, and the End users all need each other to get to a bigger better internet. | |
| Honestly, if you only use 15GB/month, then you are a fool if you pay for anything more than the lowest level DSL (call it 768), for about $14.00/month. If you are paying $60+, then why are you complaining, you don't NEED a 20mb/sec connection, and you are throwing your money away. So stop complaining when someone USES what they pay for, and do yourself a favor, and only PAY for what YOU USE. If you don't WANT to subsidize the heavy user, guess what, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. Get a cheaper plan!

Get a cheaper plan! This is faulty logic. It's like saying that if you don't need to drive 1200 miles per day, you should not buy a car that goes over 50 miles per hour.
There is utility in having a fast connection, even if you don't run it full out all the time. I personally have 18 Mb/sec download service (AT&T U-verse) because when I want to download a few gigabytes of software install binaries for my work, I want it to finish in 20 minutes or so. I consistently get more than 3 GB downloaded in 30 minutes or less. | |
