Re: Whine and Complain

Fine, you have you point.

But, what about a lower tier for those who don't use it as much such as Joe Email and Sally Spreadsheet?

Joe E-mail and Sally Spreadsheet do have a lower tier. It's called dial-up.

What this boils down to is what's RR's angle: To remove users who use far too much bandwidth? Or a PR attempt to shame high-bandwidth users in an attempt to restrict access, thereby increasing profits.

Myself, I'd exceed the 15 gig (But not Cox's 30 gig) policy, but I still remember the Bells pulling a similiar stunt in 1997 by restricting the hours on-line per month at 150, hence why I find this trend very disturbing.
