| This Doesn't Solve Anything Bandwidth is just a tool used for profit... essentially bandwidth has only one true purpose; and that's to measure the amount of data you send and receive in a given time. All these companies are trying to do is add a money sign next to it and everyone is falling for it. Now if grandma is paying $20 a month to check her e-mail that's her choice... if this is such a big issue than all Verizon and other companies would have to do in this popular example is simply make a small plan with very little upload/download speeds at a cheap price... since you don't need whopping speeds for such a thing anyways. With such weak upload/download speeds, I highly doubt it could ever consume large amounts of bandwidth even if both streams were constantly peaked the entire month. Even by her being connected 24/7, if she's not consuming any bandwidth it doesn't affect anyone, her, or the network. I already told Verizon to put me on the disconnect list for when they make this change and that I will be spreading the word for others to do so around my area. Find a better solution instead of praying on the public to fuel your corporation with more money, greed and power. |
