And has been said before, why does extra speed mean hitting caps quicker? I use the same amount of data from when I had 6/768 a few years ago to 50/10 now.
I understand that there's an increase of online content available and that caps may at some point be an issue. But, it shouldn't be one now, yet. | |

 | | | Re: I can't wait... So because you don't use more bandwidth now on a faster connection than you did before, no one else will?
what's your point? | |

Surely even someone like you understands that concept. | |

| | | | | faster speeds don't mean more bytes downloaded... it all depends on the user... duh! Higher downstream will get you to your destination faster so you can download something else.....it's all about productivity. So faster speed does equal to more downloads because people have more time to surf and more people will most likely be streaming high quality content instead of standard quality.
surely even someone like you understands that concept... maybe? | |

Funny how the CC shills imply that faster speeds do not mean average more downloads OR that whoever actually downloads more must be doing something illegal. In the real world, people actually PAY for LEGAL content that they purchase more of. | |

| | | not everyone surf like you. Extra speed means more productivity for some folks, hence hitting the cap faster. Faster speed means streaming higher quality content... HD streaming, high quality mp3 streaming... etc. | |

If productivity means more illegal downloads, then sure.
Oh wait, you must be the kind download all those Linux distros.
My bad . . . | |

Oh wait, you must be the kind download all those Linux distros. My bad . . . Not all high definition content is illegal. Many people, like me, PAY for it. I am really tired of illiterate users calling those that actually use what we pay for pirates.
If I have a truck and drive down the highway does not mean I carry drugs, weapons or prostitutes just because all you can figure to do is carry your own ass in your 3 cylinder car. | |

2 edits | Yes, yes, the same old tired arguments.
Again, the bottom line is that faster speeds don't necessarily equal more content. Whether you guys choose to use it that way is your own business.
Again, as online content grows and there's a need for higher caps, that issue will likely be addressed (as I said aove).
Anyway, I'm done. You warez kiddees (OOPS, I mean linux distro downloaders and uploaders) have at it. | |
|
| | | Re: I can't wait... Great, Mr. Lawyer. Go study some more case law to justify calling people that use what they pay for names and imply they are criminals. | |
|
| | | The online content HAS grown and the issue should be addressed NOW. | |

Nobody should "abuse" the system trying 33.6k or, God forbid, 53.2k, since only criminal downloaders from BBS' would actually need all that speed/throughput. | |
