Albuquerque, NM | Monopolies The one thing we should remember is that a lot of the "cable" companies like ComCast are monopolies in their communities, so you don't have much choice.
Also, in many cases they are advertising how much better/faster they are than DSL. Well, most DSL providers don't care if you are using NAT or not, or how many PC's are hooked up.
Both the phone companies and cable companies tried to do this in the past - charge per device (outlet), but in both cases that was outlawed. I think the same thing will eventually happen with this if they pursue this. I see legal action in the future. I can see the Consumer Protection divisions of a lot of Attorney Generals offices getting lots of calls about this one. |
