kudos:1 | Bad hints "Fawaz engages in "corporate speak" when asked about the company's plans for potential byte-caps. "We like to call it “consumption modeling” instead of byte-caps," he says. "We will be what we call “soft consumption monitoring,” and essentially decide whether we want to make it hard consumption monitoring going forward. We haven’t made that decision."
That part bothers me, is Adelphia going to start sending us nasty letters too?

| Maybe you should all read the question and answer following the one mentioning caps:
said by CED interview:
CED: So, at this point there is no specific policy being applied with consumers, or is this primarily internal?
Fawaz: It's internal monitoring. We may do something like what our peers are doing, which is to [notify] high [consumption] users...if they abuse more than their share of the network. Not in a threatening way, but to give them the ability to upgrade to our new premium product. We are looking at this from an opportunity perspective.
Everybody complains that thier node gets "overloaded", yet how does anyone expect it to be prevented without internal monitoring? How does anyone know its close to capacity without some sort of internal standards and limits?

kudos:1 | Thanks Mac, but I'm already on the Premier Package, does that mean I am safe from getting notices from Adelphia? I am not a bandwidth hog or anything, but I do use quite a bit of bandwidth, and the statement "their share of the network" is loaded with pitfalls, how are they going to determine what their "share" is? 10 gb, 100 gb, 500 gb? I figure as long as I pay my bills, and don't do anything illegal or try to hinder the network in any way, I should be able to download as much as I want.
