btw, it cost no more to provide 6mbit then it does 1.5mbit.
The trick is to charge much more for higher cap then low cap.
Pretty stinking greedy IMO.

Exceeding Minimum Bandwidth Allocation
From dls.net policy:
"When excess bandwidth is available, customers will experience speeds faster than what is allocated, up to 1.5mbps (or 10mbps depending on equipment installed.) This bandwidth may only be used for reasonable amounts of time necessary to complete retrieval of e-mail, web pages, Usenet articles, etc. Continuously using more than the bandwidth allocated to download large files, send large e-mails, or watch high-bandwidth video streams for long periods of time is not acceptable and may affect the performance of other wireless customers. DLS may take action against customers capitalizing on available bandwidth as defined below."

Actually, it does cost more. The residential equipment for 1mb is considerably cheaper than the 10mb equipment, plus the higher cost of the backhaul equipment. Then there's the telco charges for DS3's instead of T1's. That's not to say that the isp can't install the high-speed infrastructure and throttle you down to whatever you pay for...

Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?
