Re: News?

Read your TOS/AUP PRIOR to turning on and using that modem. TOS/AUPs are available to be read online. Don't like it, don't sign up.

So, you need to get online in order to decide whether or not to get online?

GOTCHA! That sounds right to me!

Because corporations can never do any wrong. They're perfect.

Look, I'm not complaining about them enforcing their TOS/AUP, I'm saying that if these numbers are so important, then they should be letting every single person know outside of some fine print tucked away that nobody ever reads.

They've tried to hide the caps ever since they imposed them for the reasons I outlined earlier. That shouldn't be permitted.

Troll? LMAO! You're just one of those people that don't feel that they should be held to what they agreed to.

don't like it, take your business else where.

You do seem to like stirring the pot on these forums.

As for taking my business elsewhere, well, there is no where else where I live. I'm beholden to MediaCom for my only means of internet access.

While I agree they have every right to impose a cap, I do think it should be made 'clear' to each customer that the cap exists. Burying it in fine print is just sneaky.

Honestly, have you every read EVERY TOS or License Agreement you have encountered?

YES. Why? Because I'm suppose to. If i do NOT agree I don't sign and don't take what i'm suppose to get. Common sense tells you to sign it.

And I can give you a shit load of other providers you could use. you choose NOT to go there. So, yes, just complaining about it.

And it's not their fault that customers don't read. again see my post about the credit cards.

And who are these providers? I've done a lot of research in this area, and MC is really the only provider in this small town.

Hiding behind fine print "gotchas" is just scummy.

Re: News?

This would be completely acceptable, if there was adequate competition in the marketplace. Most areas have 2 service providers. If they both contain language in their TOS/AUP that you find unacceptable, where do you go then?
