Never assume.
I know that when one major corporate company takes a restrictive stance, a lot follow in its wake. Unfortunately, too many people feel victimized rather than activitated to take action and fight against such controls. Sad world we live in, but I try.
@Lorelle, Makes sense. I’ve been against Comcast for awhile myself. Their throttling, “unlimited” plans, and now a real cap are all setting a bad trend. They’re no the only ISP to have a cap though; pretty much all of the cable companies have caps, they just don’t tell you what it is.
I’m also against any sort of tiered internet (or ISPs messing around with anything). ISPs are supposed to carry the data through their tubes, it’s none of their business what that data is, where it’s coming from, or where it’s going.
Awhile back, I put together a collection of Net Neutrality videos, which are worth a look. I’ve tried to use it as a place to send people who don’t really “get” network neutrality. http://www.webmaster-source.co.....eutrality/
Anyway, keep up the good work, Lorelle!
Thanks, and you keep spreading the word!
