| Some of you need to READ If would have read the message that was sent to prolog customers you could clearly see that they are only SUGGESTING to people to disable the upload feature in all P2P clients.
"In an effort to improve overall network performance and increase the quality of your ProLog Express
Internet service, PenTeleData will not support and strongly discourages Internet customers from using
peer-to-peer file sharing programs."
Prolog is not requiring or demanding that customers follow these guidelines. They are only suggesting to make each users connection a little better and faster.
Now Prolog is a monopoly, but a government restricted monopoly. With these restrictions they can only set certain prices. This monopoly provides bandwidth to most if not all of NorthEastern Penn. They provide bandwidth to even smaller ISP's which are also in the area. Prolog only has a couple of lines from major companys and a main line from WorldCOM. To run more lines would be almost impossible because it cost so much.
Keep this in line Prolog is trying to provide more bandwidth to its current customers to provide a better service. Not only was this a smart move by prolog, but people really can't argue with it either. When using P2P clients and having Uploads enabled it makes your computer a server. This is against terms of agreement with this company, but Prolog is allowing it even though its even in its policy not to allow it. So anyone that complains is just stupid and has no clue about computers and the business world.
Like it or not sharing files like MP3 and software that is copyright is ILLEGAL. Prolog is allowing people to transfer files as long as they don't see or hear it, So in my opinion they are giving people more privilages then should have. |

| I aggree with what you said but to a point. Polog is only a "monopoly" because no one has moved in yet to compete. It cant be helped that they had the money to create an isp and bone heads here dont so they call prolog a monopoly. Get a life people. |
