I hope they stop restricting, they're only spelling their own doom if they keep it up. I just hope we can get enough people to voice their opinion.

Yes, Speaking with your wallet works best but why wait until you have to when you could actually keep it from happening for a bit or prevent it in the long run by gaining media attention NOW.

I just recently started a petition at »www.ipetitions.com/petition/PMDBI that covers an aspect of this, namely CAPS.

If anybody has any better wording suggestions to add/modify this petition I'd be more than grateful to update the petition text with some donated text. We could also use some breakdowns in household usages if you feel like doing the math.

Forcing companies to be honest and straightforward about the limitations of their network could be a reality, but I'm afraid unlimited access in the way you are suggesting is nothing more than a pipe dream. The limitations of currently available residential access technology in combination with non-fixed network operating costs in relation to bandwidth utilization make actual true unlimited access completely impossible.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

No matter how you look at it. Access stops becoming access at all when you have excess restrictions. The assumption about a pipe dream is way off. If we allow them to herd us around like cattle, they will come to expect that they can always do so. Truly, Is that what we want?
