>>Great. Wonder how long before that happens here. Already all the wireless carriers here claim to provide "unlimited internet" - but they don't, they call REALLY have limits (not sure why the feds let them advertise the way they do). Anyway I figure soon we'll get stiffed too.

>Most unlimited adverts here will carry somewhere in very small letters. Subject to reasonable usage. A very vague term. Also heavy users are subject to throttling where their bandwith is reduced without actually being cut off.

Sprint (one of the mobile carriers here) used to have wording like that - actually what they did is every month they would determine their top 0.2% bandwidth users & terminate their contracts and blackball them from the network.
