I wonder if you have the same opinion if the ISP limits your access from original unmetered access to A, B and C to limited access to B and C.
Because that's exactly what is happening.
Except tomorrow they will limit A as well.
- dis-sys 9y agowhat do you mean by limited access? if it is all about paying for the traffic required to use those services rather than getting unmetered access, I don't see any problem here. You pay for what you use/want. Internet is never free.
- zepolen 9y agoThis is precisely the way SMS started to cost something ludicrous like $300,000/GB - carriers started out with "5000 FREE SMS!!!" to their own network, some small amount to other carriers. People got on board with this "promotion" - then the carriers started raising prices and lowering the "free" quota. When people finally realized how much they were getting ripped off - they figured communicating via the internet via platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger is much cheaper. The carriers took a massive hit to their bottom line - and are now trying to get it back via implementing the same practices onto internet services.
