Re: Unrequested advertising uses up subscribers data allowance! Actually, I don't think any such 'agreement' exists. You are perfectly within your rights to HTTP Get specific parts of a publicly available page and not get others. The complaint is not about ads taking up space... it is about taking up bandwidth that is no longer unlimited. |

Don't complain about the tiny bit of bandwidth taken up by ads, it's how the site stays alive. If you want, feel free to adblock them because you hate seeing ads, but don't justify it with false arguments about bandwidth. |

Not a fucking ad in sight.
We're on to the shills now, fucking sellouts.... |

My argument about bandwidth is legitimate... if you want to limit false arguments used for justification, I suggest you revisit your 'agreement' post 
Any discussion of the sites making revenue from the ads is immaterial to either bandwidth or 'implied requirements' of viewing them. |

kudos:2 | It's more about the principle of the matter.
Not really surprised about AT&T crying about this, after all they are "spooks" for the government. As for Verizon? I didn't expect this of them.

I'm sure you wouldn't complain about someone taking a "tiny bit" of money out of your wallet from time to time, right? |
