    Every major ISP sells completely unthrottled, you bought-it-enjoy-it bandwidth to businesses. Get yourself a T1 line, never worry about being throttled again! Prices are quite reasonable starting at about $600 to $1200 per month.

    Its an obvious consumer winner!

    up to 14 years in jail. 20 years if it's mounted on a shark. Probably more if it's on a great white.
