Re: Why bother? said by CyBeRiAN:
I'm just curious....
I would think that we have some ground since we're not doing anything illegal. We're buying our own software/hardware and sharing the 1.5mb connection they provide for us. We're not stealing or getting more bandwith then what we paid for. So how is NAT wrong?
It's kinda like saying..here's a piece of land that's 1.5 aches, but you can only put 1 house on it, even though we're paying/paid for that 1 ache. What would be the point?
It's not like AT&T makes adding additional computers easy.
Any comments?
Another analogy would be the telephone. AT&T, before divestiture, used to charge for each phone attached to "their" system. Now one can hook up any number of phones and other gizmos on his/her side of the demarc.
Beware using AT&T digital phone service. They may soon want you registering the number of people who will be on your speaker phone when you call mom on mother's day.
