but remember

"If they are so afraid of bandwidth usage, then why just charge for what banwidth used. Give everybody 2meg up and down. Then charge each home according to usage - ie, like electricity. Would be the only 'fair' way. Internet access then could turned into a utility and controlled by the PUC for fair pricing and access. "

electricity has a cost to produce, for the network, you just put the lines up and the rest is free, try wiring your house and see how much "maintanence" cost there is to keep it running, not $50 a month worth, but ask for a monopoly like the electric companies and you will get $150 a month prices for your network access, remember when the telco's had control? ISDN? talk about costly, greed has always been the weekest link
