Re: Speed boost?

There is no capacity crisis. It's an excuse to nickel and dime by the Megabyte.

Think about it. If there really was, they wouldn't offer subscribers a virtual Ferrari with all the gasoline they would need to travel at a constant 150 MPH if they only wanted them to take a spin around the block at 35 MPH.

You can't make all the people happy all of the time. But it should be common sense to shoot for the majority.

You know, you have a great point! Why should I have to 'spend' my limited bandwith on an advertisement I didn't request to download?

I think there is a new issue for Congress to take up...maybe similar to the "Do Not Call" list, a "DO NOT ADVERTISE VIA WEB PAGE" list.

I don't want my valuable bits used up and costing me money when I go over my limit because some stupid advertiser shoves an ad down my limited bandwith!

As much as I agree with you, the reality is that most of your favorite sites are supported by ad dollars. Would you rather have limited content, ads, or pay for every site you visit?

In the meantime, try Firefox + Adblock Plus.
