How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the too-much-of-a-good-thing dept.

davidwr (791652) writes "Does your ISP cap overall usage? What happens if you go over the cap? Does it force you into a higher-priced plan, throttle you for the rest of the month, cut you off for the month, or terminate your service entirely? I don't mind paying for what I use, but I'm looking for a list of cable and DSL providers that won't leave you high and dry like Comcast does if you go over the official or unofficial limits."

    Sorry, I'm hardwired to ignore any words preceding that one when it appears at the end of a comment. It's condescending -- I'm not a student of yours, and if the comment is worth discussing, people will discuss it anyway.

    Bugger off.

    SpeakEasy terminated me after six months -- only after harassing me for 3 months and saying I can't exceed 100G/mo. They were total assholes about it, violating my contract with them and telling me that they would charge me the $300 early termination fee (THEY were the ones who terminated!) if I blogged about it. You are very lucky. SpeakEasy is NOT honorable. This happened a year ago. I even pre-sale chatted to make sure it was okay; that was a lie: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/76331380/in/ photostream/
