Lets review, as much as people dont want to believe it Utopia is a business. Business's exist to earn money. Freeloaders take away from potential earnings. Its funny how so many people proclaim that Utopia is the "darling" ISP and how everyone else should be like them, yet they do the same shit as the other telco's/ISP's! Ahhh, the irony is thick enough to cut with a knife.

Actually here's your original post where you blame Utopia for throttling and capping. However it's not Utopia at all, but the ISP's offering service over the Utopia network. Since you can freely choose which ISP you want to use over the network, you can choose NOT to use those with caps and throttling restrictions that affect the way you use the internet.

That's why you sound ignorant, there is no irony, as there's no comparison to the "other telco's/ISP's" as when they apply restrictions to your usage, you have NO choice, except to NOT use the internet; which for many is not a choice.

I'm also not sure what you mean by freeloaders, as I don't know of anyone who is getting their internet connection for free. In fact most people I know, myself included, pay way more than they should have to. (Or rather than they would have to if there were a fair market available, eg. Utopia).

Its clear that you STILL dont get it. I never "blamed" Utopia for doing anything. I simply stated that Utopia is a business, and that a business will do whatever it takes to stay viable in the market. While Utopia themselves might not have been doing the throttling, capping, etc. that is at issue here, I can guarantee you that they would if it became necessary to support their business model. Get with the times pal.

They don't charge for service. They don't provide service

said by Ahrenl :

Not to mention, to stay viable in the market, one usually does not INCREASE their price.

said by Ahrenl :

Utopia won't throttle or cap because THEY ARE NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER.

Its almost as if I am talking to a wall! Nothing seems to get through to you.....

Thats interesting. So I suppose the providers that re-sell Utopia service are getting it for free? If thats the case then please sign me up to be a Utopia re-seller! Free money, cant be beat!!

Where do you come up with this crap? Who ever said anything about increasing prices??

For the answer to this one, lets refer back to my previous quote once again.

They will ALL do whatever it takes to maximize profit while minimizing customer churn.

If Utopia needs to do something in order to not LOSE money they will, trust me.
