I think a "pokey", rate limiting server could make you seem to be repeatedly refreshing a large page. I understand their goal, and think it will block/ discourge the really large Satellite hog downloaders. but the description/definition leaves a lot to the imagination as to limits and that often leads to lawsuits. |

Seems to me what will happen is you are at full speed until 5GB but then you are throttled to 1-2X dial up speed, effectively eliminating your ability to do anything other than surfing and email by virtue of throughput simply being so slow. |
