And they will tell us all to cancel.. because they know how bad Frontier DSL is and we will come running right back to RR. Going to have to severely limit our internet usage here. My son games on ps3 and the wife and myself spend enough time on the net and I occasionally download large files and stream music, You Tube and other stuff too. |

I have no alternatives (DSL is too far, no FIOS, etc.). I can go back to dial-up! :P |

united state | Frontier announced a week ago that they had scrapped the caps Punker, but 56k is probably the best solution if you have an unlimited package/unlimited phone line as well as patience. |

one can download 500GB/month for 119/mo (includes ablity to host a server on a residential account)
and there TOS are very loose(about 1/2page in msword)
any way i think they would not do it in palmdale/lancaster due to fios and uverse availability
it would be bad for any custmers(very small amount anyhow)
. as most poeple in palmdale/lancaster have sattlite TV And DSL |

Exactly.
We all agree to not be capped, and they'll be forced to not cap us.
Backlash is a powerful weapon.
TW caps me, and raises the fees outrageously, they can kiss my money goodbye. And if Verizon pulls the same stunt, I'll do the same with them. |

Then where are you going to go? There are some Covad DSL resellers that might be available to you, but I fear these small alternative providers simply won't be able to handle the onslaught of traffic created by a sudden increase of disproportionately heavy users. They would be forced to implement something similar themselves. Covad has never been much of a price or performance leader in the residential sector anyway.
The Canadians have had a head start on bandwidth caps. Read through their forums and you can get a pretty good idea how quickly people can run out of choices even when they thought they had a few.

You can also read about how they have adjusted to them as best as they could, in order to make them work for there household. Granted there caps are usually higher than 40 - 60 gigs.
