 Once it has been proven, it won't fly. Look at the flury of negative feedback and mass hysteria that occured when OOL decided to throttle connections that were open for more than a "burst". There was around 2 days where they held nearly every eingle negative review in /gbu !!!

It will be only a matter of time that cable providers will start filtering any VIOP traffic except their own VOIP system. And for many users like me that only have one choice, we will in essence have "no choice".

Give me what I'm paying for..

It's not your problem what I'm doing with my internet connection. And don't tell me about being fair to other BB users.. Get your network together that that will not be an excuse.

It's obvious this is true look @ the Riaa's lawsuits.

That was funny. So much so that I had to get a screen shot, just because.
On topic. I pay for the bandwidth. What I do with it is only my business. Don't offer a product (bandwidth) and then limit it to satisfy you bottom line.:o

If only the Verizon CSRs worked this well.
