“Unlimited Broadband” — We knew it really didn’t exist

Posted by on Feb 1, 2007 in Personal | 1 comment

A great article in the Guardian addressing the myth of  unlimited broadband.  Come on, you really didn’t think that your bandwidth was like an all-you-can-eat buffet, right?  It would cost the cable/phone company way too much to offer you 1.5-10 MB of data 24/7.

  1. Ah this is the best quote from that article: “In future, more ISPs may sell services with appropriately tailored download speeds. BT Total Broadband says films and television programmes bought from its BT Vision service will not count towards usage caps – unlike material from free services such as YouTube and Joost.”

    The age of preferential internet capacity shaping has begun!

    Also, its website, not webseite… (I thinks.)
