Considering I am currently rate capped @ 2M down and 256k up
My max DL speed is 256KB/s.
That's 15MB/min 900MB/Hr 21.6GB/Day ~650GB/Month Maximum.
I currently pay $44.95/Month
What percentage of the service will I be able to use?
20% -- 130GB
10% -- 65GB
5% -- 32.5GB
1% -- 6.5GB
1/2%-- 3.25GB
1/4%-- 1.625GB
Anything less than 5% and I'll laugh at them openly while I cancel my account
Is overselling by 20X enough on your highest users..
Considering all the people who only use it for "Fast E-mail" who are oversold by about 1000X
Will they have Peak Bandwidth Times?
I don't think I'm stepping on too many toes DL a Linux ISO @ 3AM
TW tread very carefully...You won't just lose my Internet service...
You'll also lose my Cable service!
I am a Roadrunner User and I have a few questions:
1) Will they have Peak and off-peak rates?
(just like my good old cell phone)
2) Will they have different rates for their local bandwidth and internet bandwidth
(Roadrunner has some great Newsgroups)
3) How high is the limit
Bush was duly elected.....
He has the honor though of being only the 2nd President tha the most people didn't want.
What matters in this situation is that when they took power one of the first orders of business was to kill the MS case.
If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd say that MS helped in the design process of the butterfly ballot.
It is just sad to see the DOJ being told to bend over for BILL GATES after they worked for so many years to get to this point...
Governement isn't big brother....
Corporation will be big brother !!!
Is it just me or does this sound alot like the former soviet union.
Wonder how long it will take till I'll need to pass a retinal scan to boot windows and listen
to my Bee Gee's CD.
Keep it going "Bill" gonna make your way right out of a job.
Can they really be this stupid to think that this kind of $%&# can continue.
US citizens like freedoms, not restrictions and we spend accordingly...
Replacement for electric "Old People" carts?
on
This is IT?

· Score: 1
I have a father who is 78 years old and has one of those electric carts that you sit in if he has to do any walking more than about 50 feet.
I think this could possilby be very usefule for someone in such a situation.
You may think that this "Segway" looks big and clunky but have your ever seen or lifted an electric cart. They are much heavier and much bigger.
On the subject of price I return to my comparison to the electrric carts... got to www.hoveround.com and chech out the over $6000 price tag for theur chair/cart.
I can easily see my father rinding one of these and I can easily see him spending the money for one too.
I think everyone just got a little excited by the hype of the brainless media and the "blue skying" corporate exec who got to preview "IT"
"It" doesn't have to replace a car or a bike to make it a very useful tool.
Parts of my brain are slugging it out over this one.
Part 1: says "Bullshit"
Part 2: Is wild eyed and staring at the wall saying "18 full length movies on a CD" over and over again...

uhh sorry...
Thinking that that invisible man really cares and loves you because he lets buildings fall on yoiur head is also "not natural"
considering their stellar security...
Having them as the gatekeeper wouldn't be too bad.
