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."

Good God grub has certainly gone over to the dark side lately. I wonder if he sold the account?
last i heard (and this might be grossly overstated) but isn't it like 1% of US citizens control 60% of the money in the US. maybe we should send them a letter telling them they need to trottle their usage so that the money gets to more people.
