Re: AVG off 11.4 GB/month shows caps not out of line said by Romney2012:And if you are in the TOP 10% you should pay more. Why? What is the cost to ISPs? It's not like a road where increased traffic = increased wear and tear, decreasing longevity, and hurting investment. And this aint Pre-Docsis where a single user could destroy everyone else's bandwidth.

If everyone were on full throttle 24x7 no one would be able to use their connection.
The reality is that most people don't need a full throttle connection 24x7 which is why we can have affordable broadband for home use. |

One of the issues that causes issues when oversubscription is done is that there is no option to get that kind of connection. Networks overtaxed: Have the heaviest users moved over to a more dedicated, pricier service: ooops! This is not available to most people to begin with.

I host a large website and I am an artist with a lot of things for people to download.
The biggest download would be downloading my Holocaust DVD.
A Family Journey Backwards is a 5 1/2 hour detailed study of Jewish life in the Carpathian mountain/Northern Transylvanian region before,during,and immedaitely after World War 2.
This documentary is available on my site for free and can be downloaded at master quality 6 DVD Set.That menas your stupid 11 gig is krap because it would be equal to 2 months worth...it is a 23 roughly gig download.
I never want to see any capping of anyones accounts.i want to pay a flat rate.i do not want to see folks not want to download my art because of some stupid greedy cappping behavior.
if you are interested go here for my holocaust site before you are capped i guess.

damn it! why can't people today just be happy with only surfing web pages and reading emails!? If it was fine for 1995, then it is fine for 2009! then everyone can guarantee to be below current ISP caps and stop whining about caps.

Everyone, let's mandate we all use Netscape 3.1 again, and host everything on a 20MB Geocities account with a 100MB/month data transfer limit!
Ahh the good days...
