When all six normal occupants of the house are using the Internet at the same time (imagine that) it spikes far above your 5.43Mpbs usage, mate. Hewaven forbid if anyone comes over to visit, or play games, or simul-cast anything. If I pay for bandwidth I expect its delivery.
How about San Diego, CA where we are still living with cable company backroom deals made with local governments in the 80's so we cannot get decent Internet speeds at the fiber levels like most of the UK now? San Diego hosts some of the most cutting edge industries in America, yet I cannot get fiber to my house. In order to get past the LOW caps for Cox I had to purchase the business option, so now I have to ALSO purchase the residential option IN ADDITION to simply use the television feeds on my iPad. Freaking crazy.
If someone sells me the bandwidth and then bitches that I use it, they are operating a business under false premises. It is not reasonable for an ISP to identify behavior they sell me the resources to perform and then label that behavior criminal. So, yes, it is really that outrageous that it justifies an entire Slashdot hate thread. I could easily use different socket promulgation and circumvent the whole schema you're aluding. High volume of traffic means nothing to legality.
BBC Right-wing? Have you experienced vertigo for 1,000 hours straight? Give me an example of the BBC ever being right-wing? More like socialists who steal as much tax money as possible to pay themselves exorbitant salaries at the expense of the UK citizens.
Of course, Bush 43 gave them the tools to skirt immigration channels by letting people stay in country while the 400,000 backlogged court cases are processed, creating de facto amnesty policy.
Just because the current administration broke multiple American laws and drew in thousand of alien children to America without a single health screening isn't a reason to suspect causation for diseases! Racists!
Good point. Let's not forget Bill Clinton eulogizing Senator Robert Byrd (D):
"I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollers of West Virginia, he was trying to get elected. And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done, and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does. There are no perfect people. There are certainly no perfect politicians."
See, you can rationalize anything to stay in power.
I've not decided anything. However, I find it interesting that you're couching this discussion as though I'm some enemy. Reading your own quotes above, it appears the same relevant risks are there for cancer with marijuana. I simply pointed this fact out. I'm sure levels of cyanide are acceptable too in a diet. You choose the amount that you can take, fine.
Short of employing violence, how do you think this is even possible? To what level of misuse does someone have to reach until you agree with removing privileges such as driving?

There are stories on both sides of the aisle. My grandfather was dying of fatal painful colon cancer when the doctor refused to give him any more morphine because the federal regulations indicted he would be considered an addict at that point of consumption. I doubt marijuana would have helped him there but I empathize with people in those positions.
Slashdot Mirror
Funny how capitalism keeps translating into crony capitalism with ISPs.
Because our POS politicians sold us out to the cable companies, mate.

In Latvia, you would download the potato, mister!
I still have my first Apple ][ 10 megabyte hard drive you insensitive clod! It makes a great 20 lb. paperweight!
That sure as hell isn't Cox speeds!

Don't Blame Central American Newspapers For Influx Of Undocumented Children notes that critics say that DACA created the mistaken impression -- then repeated by Central American news media -- that minors who arrived in the U.S. illegally would be allowed to stay.

and you're an AC. Somehow I'm not worried about your opinion you narcissistic waste of electrons.
Seriously, you're a moron.
Guess they couldn't hack those eugenics associations, like you Democrats.
How dare you question settled science! Denier!

Really, double-dog dare? Hilarious.

Because obviously we're all here for you, mate.
Oh sorry, I thought keeping society safe isn't part of your agenda. Got it.
I agree with your conclusion. However, only two of my eight family members killed by drunk drivers were minors, so think of the one-quarter children.
Drunk drivers say the same thing up till the point where they murder someone with an automobile. Then they whine that no one understands them.
Peer reviewed, I assume?
