DISQUS

The issue is not so much the cap as it is if you give bigco an inch they always seem to take a mile. Take for instance how wireless carriers inflated text messaging charges overnight on us saying it was "hogging bandwidth". Today 250 tomorrow 150 before you know it we're paying per gig.

Yeah, sure. I see what you are saying about Comcast. What about Time Warner? With their generous 5GB cap for the low end package to 40 GB cap on the high end.
All I am saying is that if you let one slip now the greed that is business will make the internet unusable to a lot of people. Because I have a larger family, I am using a lot of bandwidth. Does that mean that the companies should charge more because we use the internet we paid for to the fullest extent possible? No, it just means we use our internet.
And why would heavy users need to pay more? If we all pay the same and some people use it more bandwidth than others it tends to even itself out I would think.
That's just my opinion, but then again, I'm not in the business to make a large sum of money and raise rates.
