Define "user". I believe that Comcast could likely spend very little energy on scripting that sets up a 2GB GigaNews account for only the primary account holder, but 2GB more per month isn't going to make or break any network. Hell, I probably get that much ARP traffic in one month. Better to let people think they're getting a little extra, especially when it won't add up to a hill of beans in the end. I ponied up for a newshosting.com unlimited account, and I couldn't be happier. I do D/L a lot, but I have the speed toned down so I don't trash the node for my neighbors, and I watch the general condition of the network with ping.
I pay for and receive excellent service from both Comcast and newshosting.com. Years ago, free unlimited NNTP service was standard. When multiple terabytes became the norm, I knew that third party NNTP providers would fill in the holes. To Verizon's credit, they still provide unlimited NNTP with their service. Newshosting.com has better NNTP service IMHO, but I expect that. Until I start maintaining my own NNTP farm, I won't complain about any ISP not providing unlimited news service. |
