Banning P2P is total crap. At first, my thoughts were "well, it's illegal anyways, it was bound to happen" but then I realized and remembered that it's not the P2P that's illegal, it's the sharing of copyrighted files over that P2P program that's illegal. So this is total crap. If a company can't provide enough bandwidth for their customers, they shouldn't be in business. Also, I think that once you sign up, everything should be static. Your price should stay the same, your caps should stay the same, any bandwidth limits or anything else guaranteed at your purchase time should be maintained for as long as you own the service. I think that putting caps and limits on should be an ISP violation of the terms of service. -- "Nothing fits better than a dead man's shirt" -Jimmy James |

Problem is from a usage point of view... sharing you photos with grandma, and other legitimate uses are a drop in the bucket... it it the warez and mp3 traders that are overwhelming everything.
I agree wrong to kill ALL P2P, but if the HOGS can't at least control themselves... not a real unexpected reaction. Trading a few files here and there is one thing.... 27/7 GB level nonstop traffic (that many just here have bosted of) is quite another. -- »haywardm.com (Hayward's Key West)

Then again, bandwidth is cheap. I don't live in New Zealand. |
