Re: Not a suprise

"So what are you going to do when the gluttonous warez/mp3 thieves force ALL ISP's to do it to some degree legally and economically... start and fund your own ISP?"

I pay $260 a month for my DSL, its safe to say i would switch providers if they started blocking ports on my service. Im paying for my fair share of BW already, if they start trying to tell me what i can do with it then i wont give them my $.

And maybe if the MPAA and RIAA spent a little time trying to find a way for me to get content in the manner i prefer, they would get some of my money every month. But as things are now they dont even have a product to offer me, let alone one that compares to the ones that are free.

Well sounds like you are on a business class connection which is a whole other story where you are paying for large bandwidth use.... the MAJORITY are paying just $49 for a residential service which is designed for on demand use... not the 24/7 full bore file transfering that all too many do.

Always on in no way means always full bore... just means it is always available for use on demand without connection. (Though with PPPoE that is not really the case often)

Of course if you all WANT to have FORCED limits imposed just keep it up. Personally I would rather see moderation, and things staying at a reasonable price, without limitation for the OCCASIONAL power use.
I certainly will be PO'd about a price rise that essentially forces everyone to subsidize the gluttony of a few.
