Re: Restricted Internet Service If someone is indeed causing major problems on a consistent basis, then I would agree that the provider should be able to remove them and cancel their service without charging any sort of early termination fee (since the removal was at the provider's discretion).
However, in order to do this the provider must be held to some kind of standard. This should be treated more like a home rental agreement than an single sale of a bag of M&Ms at Wal Mart, especially given the ongoing nature of the service contract between the provider and the consumer. What this means is that prior to providers terminating service, a series of written warnings should be issued. These warnings should include what the user was doing, along with some sort of verifiable proof that it was actually causing a problem on the network.
Providers should also not be allowed to restrict certain applications from running on their network if they are allowing similar applications to run. In other words, AT&T allowing users to stream audio and video of baseball games through the Major League Baseball app means that AT&T should also be forced to allow users to stream audio and video from other sources across their network. Allowing use of the MLB app proves that streaming audio/video doesn't "kill" their network; if they had those kinds of concerns they wouldn't have allowed it to begin with.
I'm tired of AT&T and the like crying wolf and painting those of us who actually want to maximize use of the connections we've paid for as "bandwidth hogs" and the like. But I guess that's the new "in" thing in wireless: overcharge people for shoddy data connections, and then point fingers and blame them when things go awry.

It's simple: Obama is lying about health care. His plans require rationing, and openly fund abortions and euthanization. And his continued association with ACORN only shows that he supports its illegal and immoral activities. Remove Obama from office now. |
