Meh. It's not that big a deal. Last night, Monday night, what's the difference? You won't get to play it for a year either way.

@Ken: " If all the internet went away tomorrow, our economy would be absolutely trashed".

@Ken: Caps are like speed bumps. They try to get you to slow down and spread out your downloads instead of grabbing everything at once and slowing everyone else down. Upgrading the infrastructure would most likely mean a higher monthly bill to help pay for the upgrade, even if you don't see the benefit of it or use it.

@Doshu: That is what dial-up is for.

@Doshu: That's a bit of an exaggeration. Your ability to access knowledge, like Wikipedia, InfoPlease a government department site, or even IMBD isn't going to be threatened by them slowing down torrent and other P2P downloads or limiting how many gigs you can download a month. I mean, people on dial-up still have…

Everyone acts like the world is ending. IT'S JUST THE INTERNET. Stop being so dependent on it. Build your own servers and infrastructure, then you can use it anyway you want. Until then, the ISPs have a say in how their stuff is being used by customers.

@Buttertop: Move to Canada. You have it easy with Comcast. Besides, it is their infrastructure, they have a say in how it's used.

@Ken: What Fluorine said. The cap prevents people from downloading at full speed for the entire month while slowing down other users. And 250 gigs is very very generous. The major ISPs in Canada have caps that seem to max out at 125 gigs for 25mbps service costing you $70/month. $100/month will get you 50mbps service…

@CowLion: I don't think they are as lucky as we are at the moment, though they don't get ridiculously small monthly bandwidth limits like we do. I am currently with Bell, but will be switching to Teksavvy in June.

@Ken: The internet is not a utility. It's a convenience and luxury. Like cable/satellite television. Utilities are necessities. You NEED water, you NEED electricity (at least if you live in an area that gets winter), and for emergency situations, you need a phone. You don't NEED internet. You won't die because you…

@kNZA: In most cases people do pay them for TV already. I don't think they care if you actually watch it as long as you have their TV service.

@Poison: Lots of people in the US complain about being "limited" to 250gigs, even though that's a lot of bandwidth. You are limited to 60 gigs with most of the major ISPs in Canada. Bell Canada limits you to 25 gigs a month for $37/month for their 6 mbps service, 50 gigs for $47/month (12 mbps), 75 gigs for $57/month…

@Twyst3d: Stop having your life be so dependent on something as unimportant as the internet.

@Ryodestined: Dangers? It's internet access, for crying out loud. Replace "dangers" with "inconveniences", and your statement would be a lot less silly.

@GreatMario: A disaster? It's just the internet. It seems that a lot of people here put way too much importance and dependence on the internet. It's not as important as people think.

@bmart008: Bell upped my monthly limit to 140 gigs a month after threatening to ditch them for Teksavvy last year, and I still go over almost every month. I will be ditching them for Teksavvy at the end of next month. 200 gigs a month, and if you go over, it's only 25 cents a gig.

@Saudrapsmann: You can't live without internet access?

@KingFaisal: It is their servers and their infrastructure. They have a right to decide how it is accessed and used by customers. You aren't their only customer, so it makes sense that they not allow you to download gigs of stuff as fast as is possible while slowing down other customers in your area.

@hoi1ma: It's only the internet. And for the most part you ca choose your ISP, so choose the one that isn't being overly restrictive. Or just don't have broadband access. It's only the internet. The ISPs do have a right to decide how their servers and infrastrucutre is used just like you have the right to decide who…

@hazelnut: I would switch providers before just giving up on internet access. But if it came down to being heavily restricted on what I can do, then I would just forget about paying a good amount of money each month for what I would deem as crippled access. I would probably downgrade to dial-up email and shopping, and…
