I am surprised by the number of responses that act as if this was a positive change.

Those of you who harp on how pirates are the cause of this and people shouldn't be downloading this or that need to take a step back and realize that the content that is being downloaded is not the issue here. Someone downloading/uploading 250 gigs of illegal shit vs. legal shit is another debate all together. The issue here is the cap, most people think 250 gigs is a reasonable size well what about 200 gigs? 150? 100? This is the first cap put into place there is nothing stating that they will keep 250 the cap permanently. In fact the way they are going about it is somewhat smart since they can simply state "This cap will not effect 99.9% of our users." then every Tom, Dick, and Retard will go about their daily lives with no forethought that bandwidth usage is going to continue to increase exponentially; what is considered reasonable today is going to be shit 5-10 years from now.

To use an analogy for the slow among us this change would be akin to Comcast saying we know you all have enjoyed unlimited cable TV for years however since some of you leave the TV on 24/7 and we do not want to upgrade our signal to provide for all the people we signed up for service you can now only watch TV 200 hours per month. Some of you will go "Well good people don't need to watch more than 200 hours of TV" those of you who thought that should be sterilized, nobody wants you taking to make choices on their behalf.

It is criminal they are allowed to oversell service and not provide the promised speeds you already pay for let alone dick you on the amount of usage you get out of the service. Just like the telecoms industry the cable service wants a slice of overage fees and other bullshit that they can tack on while simultaneously holding on to an old shitty infrastructure system instead of upgrading the network to properly deliver the service they already promise but a mass majority of people never see.

I bet people who are for this change are the same cocksuckers who want net neutrality to go away so not only can they limit the service they can also prod your asshole with a tier based service as well. I can see it now.

Basic Internet - Tier 1 website access 10mb speed, All other Tiers 1mb with 50gig cap at - $ Rape.99 per month

Internet Plus - Tier 1 and Tier 2 website access 10mb, All other Tiers 1mb speed with 200gig cap at - $ Forcefully Raped.99 per month

Unlimited Internet - All Tier access at 10mb speeds at - $ Violently Raped.99 per month.

*Unlimited Internet capped at 250gig per month

Which will be shortly followed by on peak and off peak internet hours with usage on the weekends. It is like many of you have forgotten how shitty AOL was with it's X hours of usage plans and are all to eager to sign back up for this shit without a second glance. Well fuck that and fuck you for acting as if this is a good idea.
