What is so hard to understand about this?

I remember back in the days of @Home when there were no caps. Napster was gaining steam and I knew that applications like that were going to hurt the broadband industry. I knew that broadband was going to have to institute caps. There just wasn't enough bandwidth to go around.

Time and time again, I have put the blame on both parties for the caps and the disappearance of the "unlimited" internet.

The consumers are partially to blame. Instead of shutting down these hoggish P2P programs when they are done, they instead just let them run 24/7 sharing gigs of data and music. Instead of following the AUP, some users were even running FTP, WWW, and other servers.

The broadband corporations are also to blame. They should have stopped using the "unlimited" tag a long time ago. In fact, I haven't heard that used in a while so that is a good thing. Now they advertise it as "always on", which is much more accurate. Second, they should have been cutting all these people off their network that don't follow the TOS. However, the bottom line speaks louder I suppose.

Just my .02 cents.
