I don´t understand how people can argue for net neutrality, yet complain about a price of $33.95. It´s fabulous that p2pers get all that bandwidth on the cheap, but somebody has to pay for it sooner or later.

I think that instead of passing a net neutrality law, they should phase in a flat amount per gigabyte law. You´d basically have a minimum price for access, and if they number of gigabytes downloaded times the cost per gigabyte gets higher than the minimum price, then you´re charged according to how much each gigabyte costs. Also, gaming has tiny packets that need to get where they´re going in a hurry, but p2p and the web aren´t quite as much of an emergency, so they should get different treatment.

How about, instead of a net neutrality law, we have a throttling neutrality law? Everybody gets throttled equally. They could change the rules on the fly, but the rules would apply to everybody on the network, instead of the suspected p2pers.

Old news is so exciting.

Someone should tell Copowi they've only been online 2 weeks now. I'll bet they'll be surprised.
Oh, and they're down to $41.95/month for a 6mbit connection the last I heard.
