How Does Your ISP Handle Top-Usage Customers?

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

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."

    A company so large, they don't give a damn what any individual is doing.

    ...But be prepared to pay for it.

    Speakeasy used to be such an ISP. With their recent acquisition by Best Buy, I'd no longer gamble that way. But there are other ISPs who will be just as tolerant.

    You just won't get them for $30/month.
