I think the real issue is that ISPs advertise that you can download as much as you want (without explicitly stating it, but trying to give that impression) and then get in a hissy fit when someone actually tries to do this. And the worst ones won't even tell you what the limits are. If ISPs were upfront on what their usage policy was and either enforced it themselves or explained users they would need to make sure they didn't stray outside of the usage policy (because implementing some network policies on the ISP side might be too costly) then people could make better decisions on which ISPs they wanted to do business with and which plans they wanted to purchase. There is also an issue with bumping people over to business lines when they want to use saturate their usage and that is they usually get stuck paying for an SLA that they don't really need. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
