ISPs Experiment With Broadband Download Capping

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how-much-is-too-much? dept.

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."

    You know what?

    Fuck you, you stupid twat. If I ever meet you, you better fucking run.

    There's nothing I hate more than a self-absorbed landlord. Fucking leeches and usurers of society.

    Fuck off and die, you fucking prick.

    Of course the po-lice wouldn't do anything: you were fucking trespassing.

    You know, landlords ought to have been strung up in the revolutionary war. It's a fucking shame. People whine and whine and whine about taxes and levies and "without representation." And we've got these illegitimate owners of the places people live.

    You make money by doing what? Nothing. You have title ona piece of land, that's it. You're a piece of shit, you belong in jail you stupid fucking tyrant.
