FTFY
- wruza 9y agoYou’re missing the fact that telecom is less profitable (compared to ads/sub streaming) and when new cool ISP will try to return some investments by charging more or throttling, you’ll throw them over a dick exactly as you did with an old one. ISPs are no fools and will not jump into this trap. It is your bandwidth that is increasing, not theirs.
