ISPs Experiment With Broadband Download Capping
W33dz writes "News.com has an article detailing how some ISPs are now capping bandwidth usage by some of their high end users. Comcast claims this is an attempt to create better speeds for their average users, but you can't help but wonder how much of this is in response to the RIAA's subpoenas. Interestingly enough, there is no set limit, but just a subjective limit of 'more than the average user.' The World Tech Tribune has an article on the same topic."
your joking... Whant real speed to load a web page? Mate I whant speed to DL movies ISO's and music and ofcourse a good ping for gaming... Ohh and streaming or FTP'ing or whatever other nonsence I can think of... A silly page loaded a few seconds faster BIG DEAL.
.PPL use your head, a provider sucks choose another one.
Oh BTW no complaints bout caping (or port blocking) here www.nildram.co.uk
What you typed there almost implies you feel we should stop paying artists.
A Good Intro to NetBS
Basically you want the entire Beatles back catalog, no no, all music ever recorded, in 96kHz 24-bit uncompressed 6-channel PCM for $1. Get over yourself. Heavy piracy is an indication of NOTHING except the convenience of and lack of consequences for getting something that costs money without paying for it. If an album at the iTunes Music Store cost $5, you'd be bitching about how it didn't cost $4, and if it cost $4, you'd complain that it didn't cost $2.50. And if it cost $2.50, you'd be outraged that it weren't free, except for the cost of bandwidth. You know what? I think a Ferrari F355 should cost $7.50. Guess what? What I think a Ferrari F355 should cost doesn't mean a god damn motherfucking thing.
I have no idea how your voodoo math with regards to CD and digital music prices is supposed to work, and I have no desire to take the necessary hallucinogens that would enable me to understand. My suggestion would be to stop being such a spoiled twit and learn up on market pricing.
