As another example, it would be wrong to take up two seats on an airliner when you only bought one ticket
Did you ever got bothered by anyone when you took the free seat next to you along with the one you were currently on? I don't think so. It's there, it's available, why not using it if you feel the need to? It's not exactly the same with bandwidth because there's a direct associated cost which is not the case with the free seat (it's likely it will travel with you whatsoever ). Anyway, I think people just need to be explained things to accept the restrictions. Capping actually helps them having a better service overall, by protecting them from their abusing neighbours. I won't say that I don't find the up speed at 128kbps to be a bit slow, but I used to have 28.8k up so, why complaining in the first place? More is better?
If it's about price, moving to Canada will be cheaper, the base phoneline is ~15USD, long distance is around 6c for north america, between 7 and 15 for europe (i.e with searsconnect). I won't trust VoIP till equipment required to make it work is streamlined; It has to be on a private network to be sure that Internet won't interfere, and the other end of my phoneline-powered crash-proof phone (non-MS OS;) has to be the switch, as on the current pots service. The less equipment is required to make this thing work, the less prone it is to outages. I'm already amazed each time I use the internet and think of the chain of equipment involved, from end to end. Count the devices and the single points of failure! Repeat the exercise with your current phone service, you will now why I won't switch to VoIP tomorrow.

I discovered it with the readme.eml attachement. And btw, my IIS4 with the cumulative MS fix _has_ been compromised. Can't tell if it's new or not but it's efficient, for sure. Anyone knows how to be sure to get rid of it?
The important part is consistency. QoS is the next big thing. We don't need incredible speeds, we need a true megabit/s to anywhere. To achieve this, backbones have to be very fast, right. But the end user needs are much smaller. How may people live right on a highway? Right now, most servers deliver broadband content at barely 0.5mbit/s. And so far, Internet2 is not much faster than the truly commercial one, only less populated.

Not planned:
-KDE 3.0
-Apache 2.0
-XFree 4.2
Not good, eh?
Really? One can wonder what happened to TWA800..
