BT Improves Users 'Great Internet Experience'
(old news - 12:54PM Monday Oct 08 2001)
British Telecom broadband users received this announcement recently: "in the short term we have had to impose traffic controls on particular applications & ports to ensure that our customers retain their great internet experience. We recognise your concerns on the usability of P2P applications, so are investigating the lifting of these restrictions at off-peak times (e.g. 1:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.)" A truly brilliant move, and an example of innovative telco thinking that must have Verizon and SBC panting to emulate! imagine how great the internet experience would be if they go a step further, and disallow access completely?

| Ameritech Ahead of it's Time Ameritech is currently running an annoying ad campaign where a family has to schedule their cable modem access during "off peak" periods. They have to change their life styles to sleep during the day because of their lack of foresight to buy Ameritech DSL (assuming they were one of the 10 people who actually can) instead of cable. LOL. | |

Van Nuys, CA | Fun, Pacific Bell has the exact same commercial...
I remember that last year, ordering DSL from them (and after that earthlink) was a nightmare which drive me to take cable. And that's working fine! | |

| That was certainly true when I was with Adelphia. Overnight speeds were full on, during the day they dropped amazingly, assuming the service even worked.
They also had a ridiculous item in their TOS that said any usage over 1GB per month was excessive and subject to penalty. | |
