Re: Now let's see how the hypocrites explain this...

said by skeechan:

They have low caps for "bandwidth management"...wonder if their streaming service will count against their cap or will they tacitly admit the only reason for the caps is to protect their video business from competitors like Netflix, Apple and Amazon.

My thinking exactly. They keep shouting about how there is a bandwidth shortage, and the world is ready to collapse because we all use too much of it, yet they still introduce more and more ways to use more bandwidth at faster rates. Nothing oxymoronic or coincidental here, just business as usual for them.

They bank (literally) on the average consumer not noticing the layers of wool being pulled over their eyes, and they are very successful at it.

I used to be sure that people would eventually wake up and see all this for themselves, but It's just going further and further with no end in site. Seems people would rather get another job to pay for all this instead of realizing they shouldn't have to pay so much for so little.

just check what happened in Canada with Bell and their VDSL with 'fibe' and on demand + TV and bandwidth caps.
