Re: Caps?
I hope not! A throttle yes, cap no, unless it is a 1t cap.
If they want to make 768k not broad band they had better hurry up and serve more areas then. In some all you can get is 768, maybe less. |

Pleasant Hill, MO | Why? Slower speeds for a short time then back to normal speeds, with no one telling you how much you can up/down load sound better then a cap to me. |

Because I don't want my Internet speed slowed down whenever the company feels that it should be. It could possibly hinder my Netflix watch now viewing, hulu viewing, and other stuff. |

Re: Caps?
Sorry but 1TB just is not enough for people who telework and deal with a lot of large data sets. I used close to 2TB last month and luckily Verizon could care less. I would have no problem with a throttling system so long as it does not effect HTTP/S, VPN, DNS, and EMail traffic and is only used when the network is heavily congested and in that case there needs to be documented proof. |

Yes, it could, but they will not tell you how much you can do, just make it take longer. A cap does more or less tell you how much you can do. That said I would rather have an ISP like FiOS no cap no throttle just pure internet. |

Thats why we still need business packs with no cap, like comcast's. Verizon still has the best deal IMO. |

sorry i couldnt resist the family guy pun since i saw a quagmire on board.
I hope I'm wrong for everyone's sake, but I doubt this will materialize to anything fabulous. But hey, this administration could actually get this to work. I hope they are more determined than the lobbyists.

Re: Caps?
NO caps, no throttling... 
Here is a novel idea, PRICE it as if I will use ALL of it.
If you can only deliver, on a 24/7 basis, 5Meg/1Meg, then tell me that and price it at a REASONABLE profit.
None of this "UPTO" crap! 
Let people decide how much "speed" they want to pay for, and then DELIVER it...

| Finally
Republicans will hate the FCC introducing regulations that increase competition. Competition is exactly what the telcos and cable companies need. For that matter, if the FCC can eliminate Caps and establish requirements for roll outs of some kind of reasonable broadband services to rural areas (such as LTE) then it will be a good thing. The prize chicken is going to be net neutrality and the telcos and cable companies hate this one even more. I think it should be regulated to be neutral so that you can do what you want with the connection you pay a lot of money for every month. Throttling should be allowed but only on certain protocols such as bittorents and only when there is more than 60% network link utilization in a given part of a system (you don't want much more network utilization than that or the system will suffer from high latency, lost packets, etc.) Anyway, as I said the reds will hate all of this because all they care about is stuffing more money in their pockets and getting the lobbyists in washington to beat politicians over the head for their corporate welfare (read: whiney, want more money attitude). |

Because the internet is a shared medium and no one will guarantee a specific speed "no matter what". "UPTO" is the only way it can be offered and not be lying about it.

| Nope, never said it was, I was just commenting that it seems that FIOS delivers what they advertise.
So if they can do it, why can't others be truthful in what they can actually deliver, not what they MIGHT deliver...
