| Does this apply to "Business" customers?
About this system:
I think it's no good, and yes it should be opt-in, with the default being no, instead of the other way around.
Now I'm wondering: Unlike most of their customers (probably), I get my HSI through their Business division.
I did that because some things are done differently. These things include:
- More liberal TOS.
- No port restrictions.
- No throttling.
- Static IP.
The downside? It's expensive for what you get.
I wonder, is my browsing history still sold to this company? |

If you can't fight them in court, fight them in the wallet and make all the data they collect useless and worthless.

Such a move from the open source community, would end this nonsense in a heartbeat.

It sounds good, though now I'm wondering about something: How much data transfer is consumed each month?
Personally, I don't care. But people on TWC soon might. |

Wait, I'm on Charter Business. That's why my rates are high. But still, even on residential I suspect they still have a pretty good profit margin. |

Thank you very much for this information. I guess I really am getting some extra value for my money. |

I believe you (that you were told business customers won't be monitored).
I don't believe what you were told. Why not collect that additional fee for monitoring one more customer? |
