I don't know about in your countries, but up here in Canada, most broadband providers are now putting caps on their service, and charging extra when you go beyond that limit. eg. $59.95 for basic service (5G up/ 5G down), and $7.95 / G used after that. So, in fact, I am no longer purchasing a service, but purchasing a set quantity of data. This really does change the nature of the contract I have with my ISP. Now if someone sends me a Pop-up that I did not request, or at least have the opportunity to accept or refuse, THEY ARE STEALING MY BANDWIDTH just as surely as if they called me to solicit on my pre-paid cellphone time. THEY ARE THE THEIVES!!! JAIL THEIR ASSES NOW!! I wish, and lock up the spammers too.
