I think they've misjudged the price/cap relationship, but my reading of
their website is that it isn't a hard cap. It's a per-gigabyte charge,
and the cap is what's included in your basic rate.

It's still not a good deal, but I'm not sure I would call it a cap
myself.

And, alas, I don't see limits vanishing any time soon. I think they're a
feature of an expanding market, and of making products look different.
They're a way a company can control their costs when the infrastructure
they need can't be installed as fast as they can sign up customers.
They're a way that a company can retail the BT Wholesale product and
make themselves distinct.

And what rightly pisses off people is when they feel they've been lied
to. I think good communication with customers, rather than the detail
of caps, is going to be significant.

It cannot be overstressed that the Internet is growing
by some 20% per annum and all those service providers
who are not investing and penny pinching, are really stealing
from you the punter because it aims to cut many of the
benefits of that 20% global expasion by proving one
fucking capped low bandwidth link for one fucking email per month
services while them screaming bitches drawing great
circles in the air laugh all the way to the bank pocketing your money.

Broadband punters out there must not engage
in supporting service providers with caps.
Because you are gonna end up holding back everyone else
and you will not receive the benefits of internet and what
the rest of the world now enjoys. If we had 100mbit SDSL
as being rolled out now, then it would be world full of video
phones, websites turning into movie playing stations, and
millions of other internet services. You can get today
10,000+ radio stations on the internet. Just boot up Kanotix
liveCD and run up streamtuner, and there you have it - instant
access to global radio stations on your PC.

The same is also happening to television.
Ten years ago - who would have thought it was possible?
My radio tuner can at best tune into 50 static ridden
stations and 10 decent stations. But internet - some 10,000+ stations!

There are many other things that are in the pipework all
dependent on falling internet prices and greater uptake.

You should spend time, money and effort supporting uncapped
broadband providers and the providers that are focused on
the future to provider higher upload speeds, particularly
focus on SDSL instead of DSL (which has very low upload speeds)
so that you become part of the global internet, instead of sorry
fools that have been tricked out of money and out of enjoying
the full services and benefits of high speed internet.

There are too may herberts out there who think that caps are good as
they only d/l 100 *M*b a month. They should not be allowed a BB
connection.

This is very true, you dont buy a newspaper to be told you can only read
the first line of each page... and no more.

We are lagging behind the rest of the world and paying thru the nose for
it.
