 VanPremium join:2009-07-08 New Orleans, LA | Even with this article, it has already become clear that the ISP's see the data growth and want to cash in on it as much as possible.
This idea of ISP's putting caps in to "free their networks" is a joke. Can the ISP's actually show us proof of this? At all? Has anyone here even seen their speed increase because of this?
Also, who here actually expects the ISP's to raise their caps anytime soon? Anyone? The ISP's will soon release statements claiming that "Consumers dont want caps raised" and that their studies found that "99.9% of customers say caps dont need to be raised"

The ISP's will soon release statements claiming that "Consumers dont want caps raised" and that their studies found that "99.9% of customers say caps dont need to be raised" To put it another way, how many Mr. Joe Consumer customers (outside of us here at DSLR) even know there are caps in place or if they do, understand what it means? Not many. None will find out until someone streams or downloads too much and gets bill shock from overusage charges.
So you've got a good point--consumers may not say they want caps raised...because they don't even now they are capped! -- -= Rudy =- |
