Those "abusers" - and whatever retarded stupid names come out of these greedy bloodsucker corporations - are the ones who are pushing the envelope constantly.

If they weren't, we would be still using ISDN on Compuserve.
Actually business has been pushing the envelope. One could get any speed fiber connection one wants. It has been that way for years. They get a guaranteed speed up and down with a one hour time to fix an outage. There are many companies that will provide that service. It costs more then $29.99 a month and there is no government interference.
There is no free lunch.

Someone has to pay for the bandwidth. Cable companies with their coaxial network limit customer use of bandwidth. They always have and always will. They use different methods but they all do it. The limits only effect about 17% of the users, or ABUSERS as Cablevision calls them. That 17% slows down the network for the other 83%.

That leaves three choices, let the network run slowly for 100%, limit the use of 17% or upgrade the network at a great expense so 17% can use what they want. Most of us here would prefer the latter but with government regulation we will get the first.
The problem is that it's simply greed, nothing else - they don't want to invest more back to upgrade their network.
