    Better services. hmmmm.... I like the service I get here. But I think it would be great to have high speed service when I take out the RV. Would love a satellite internet that humms. I did hear about a new internet service for travelers at evesurf.com

    Like the writer suggests, better service will come from foreign lands.......just like cars, toys, tools, goods, services, etc. The USA is getting left behind and a huge recession is coming. Get ready.

    Bush helped get you there and lucky for you, he doesn't get a third term.

    With ideas like this, soon no one will want or be able to afford broadband.

    How is it, when a person is sold "unlimited access" for a set price and then they have the nerve to use it?

    How is using a "unlimited" service that you paid for "hogging or unfairly using" internet connections?

    40 gigabytes (GB)? Most movies are anywhere from 3 to 7 GB and you throw in music downloads, email, microsoft updates that can be hundreds of megabytes per month and pretty soon we all will pay overage charges. And for what, some of the worst service on the planet. This is worse than the mess cell phone companies made in destroying competition and consumer choice. Nice job, Roadrunner!

    The idea of calcing megabytes of traffic though the internet is rediculous. Charging for it is even worse. If the current load of the internet (data pass through) is being handled pretty well with today's technology, there is no reason to begin charging. It's basically a usage tax that outs anyone who wants to watch movies and the like. I would recommend getting satellite internet at bchannels.net Good Luck!
