All of teh Oz's broadband provider's either have caps or charge by the mb after a certain amount.

Well...Iwent to the petrol station the other day,and they told me that if I wanted to put more than $20 of gas in my car,I'd have to pay more than $20 for it.....Shit,how unreasonable and gay is that?

[Jimster]

my ADSL= no bandwidth cap in return for shitty service

I have a 30gb cap which I broke not once not twice but thrice. I usually had a good d/l rate at 400k then it went down to 20k a sec which pissed me off felt like I was on real fast dial-up.

My Dad was going to try out DSL in South Africa, but they wanted to charger per meg downloaded!
Monopolies will always exploit whatever they can....

No caps through my cable provider.

You do get what you pay for. The only difference here is you give the attendent $20 and he manages to only put in $15 - he'd give you $5 back (nice math huh ) Cable providers like phone plans don't refund any money when you don't use the space/minutes.

cable b/c it's faster than DSL people tend to host servers and such off it which does not allow the company to always produce the bandwith for each user that they promised them.

So what? If any company can cap DSL and charge for excess they will. Simple economics. Already at work in my local market.

ADSL hooked up via a server in the house. Three users sharing one connnection. 5gig of international traffic limit and national unlimited!
.15 per meg over 5gigs, talk about pirates!

Oh did I mention I pay $60 per month for that

[themodelkid]

I pay $20 US a month for my cable, and as of i know there is no caps too, always been really really fast! They also have very good service!

I pay $39.99 / month, and I am not capped....but its getting alot slower lately. Not many ppl had cable in my area when I first got it (~1.5yrs ago) and it was hella fast then.
