Re: Caps?
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. |

| 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...

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...

| My cable company currently offers what they advertise. So I'd suggest that like any other service, the quality of your connection to the Internet will vary from location to location and provider to provider. As much as you don't agree with him, TK's point is valid. |

| So you would have no problem with your cable company offering you upto 100 HD channels, yet you can only get 20, but your friend in the next town, can get 80 HD channels from the same company, for the same price.
