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.

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.
