Perfectly stated. The ISP doesn't add a faster connection for the extra money, it throttles down the lower priced packages. It doesn't cost them a dime for the higher speeds. -----Original Message----- From: Computer Guys Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Reid Katan Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 1:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Broadband Speeds Map

Why? It's not like they have to keep refilling the line more often. They don't have to keep an extra supply of Broadband in the back room. If you ordered up a faster connection, what would they have to do? type a few commands into their server allowing you the increased speed. Oh, and send a memo to Accounting to send you a fatter bill. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** ************************************************************************* __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5002 (20100405) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
