Glen Allen, VA | Quite simple... If the ISPs collude to force metered billing, we should collude to move to whoever is available who doesn't offer metered billing. I'll go back to freaking dialup if I have to.
Just try me. |

Grove City, PA | You do realize that on dialup the most you can really download in a month is 5GB, right? |

How much I can download is not the point. The point is using my wallet to tell them what I think about their Idea of "fairness". If enough people leave, they either go out of business or start offering something people want. That simple. |

| Only if, with the dial-up connection, you connect it 24/7 for the entire month and saturate the entire connection for the entire time.
It's very doubtful that many, if even any dial-up users actually do that. If any do they are few in number.
You are correct that 15GB is close to the theoretical maximum that one can download using dial-up. Actually I once figured it to be close to about 17GB, but that's assuming you always get 53.3Kbps, with 100% ideal line conditions. Now how often does that happen? Didn't think so.
I only mention this so others can see how you got that number. |
