    Unlimited? Bah humbug!
    « on: March 28, 2007, 11:34:17 AM »
    Comcast asked Frank to cut back his unlimited internet usage. Frank was confused. He thought unlimited meant, well, unlimited. Frank was wrong. Very wrong.

    Annoying, no?
    There are many cases like this in the UK at the minute.
    I don't think it's right how they don't explain their fair usage policy (the small print that says it's not unlimited).
    Apparently, nor do most people.
    I'm thinking carefully about my next ISP . . .

      They've got a point. "You own a business" "There are tools against spyware"... I'd agree with the ISP on that one, anyway.

        Business is a business. Besides, 300GB of data per month is ridiculous! That's either a lot of warez or a lot of Internet traffic which logically violates the fair-use policy because they probably leech away a lot from the people in the street..
