- IgorPartola 13y agoWould you rather have them cut off your internet access entirely when you watch too many episodes of Breaking Bad in a row? I will agree that most ISP's are fairly evil, but I would rather know where I stand with them than just get a notice that I am cut off for no good reason.

- gamerdonkey 13y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma Thinking that those are your only choices is a prime example of why the broadband market needs far more competition. ISPs do not operate like electric utilities where they generate gigabytes to send down the line to your house. ISPs spend money on building capacity to transfer data, which they then sell to their customers in chunks. If they cannot provide they capacity they sold to their customer, it should not be the burden of the customer to avoid exceeding that capacity.
- IgorPartola 13y agoThey are not the only choices, but I have never seen an ISP implement any other. I am not saying this is a ultimate solution to the ISP stranglehold on consumers. I am simply saying that this solution is better than the other common one.
