| This is ridiculous It really doesn't matter anyways. If they were to ever squash bit torrent, they would just move on to something else to complain about. Bottom line is they do not want people using their lines for anything more than casal websurfing, and email basically.
What needs to happen is some regulation to get these isps in check. They don't want to raise prices, that would leave them open to lose customers to another isp, given their customers have another choice. Bottom line is no company any more wants to actually provide good service at a good price, no they want to screw everyone like they have a right to make money for nothing. Instead of upgrading or offering something useful, no they complain and try to blame things like bittorrent for costing them money, they don't want to acknowledge the fact that it may have something to do with over subs, crappy network things like that.
It used to be that you had to invest money to make money, now you just come up with some crazy ass terms of service, buy a few law makers off so they hand pass a few laws that basically eliminate any competition.
Someday people will learn that they have to vote with their wallets, and I don't mean just a few.
There are still to many air heads out there that say things like "well what can I do", or just blindly pay for shit without informing themselves of the ins and outs so they know if their getting screwed or not.
Thing I can not figure out though, why are these isps so into doing speed upgrades if they do not want you using it anyways. Why increase the speeds to numbers like 15, 20 Mbps if they are just going to complain when its used. Web surfing and email work fine on 3Mbps.
It is just disgusting the way business is these days. Take sooem of the money they spend on politicians and lobbying and invest it into the networks, imagine what we would have right now. |
