Re: Simple Solution said by john262:What would you have the satellite ISP's do? They cannot repeal the laws of physics. It takes the signal a certain amount of time to travel back and forth between the satellite in the sky and the ground. Sure, the latency sucks. At least give a reasonable cap, then. Give the users options of 100, 300, and 500GB caps. 20GB is pathetic. -- Bresnan 30M/5M | CenturyLink 5M/896K MyWS[PnmIIX3@3.2G,8G RAM,500G+1.5T+2T HDDs,Win7] WifeWS[A64@2G,2G RAM,120G HDD,Win7] Router[2xP3@1G,2G RAM,18G HDD,Allied Telesyn AT2560FX,2xDigital DE504,Sun X1034A,2xSun X4444A,SMC 8432BTA,Gentoo] | |  Reviews:

| There is only a finite amount of bandwidth available from their satellites. And launching additional satellites requires years of planning and millions of dollars of investments as well as regulatory approval. They don't have the capacity to be able to offer bigger caps unfortunately. | | |

If that were the case, why not lower their packet priority instead of slowing them down to 128k for the rest of the month if they go over their cap? -- Bresnan 30M/5M | CenturyLink 5M/896K MyWS[PnmIIX3@3.2G,8G RAM,500G+1.5T+2T HDDs,Win7] WifeWS[A64@2G,2G RAM,120G HDD,Win7] Router[2xP3@1G,2G RAM,18G HDD,Allied Telesyn AT2560FX,2xDigital DE504,Sun X1034A,2xSun X4444A,SMC 8432BTA,Gentoo] | |
