Is this the agreement you have with your ISP? In writing? Or what you think you *should* have? I've not run across an ISP that just gives bandwidth with no restrictions. The ones I know have a Terms of Service agreement, or Acceptable Use Policy, that you tacitly agree to when you use their service -- NOT when you signed up. This tells you in legalese what you can and cannot do. If yours is like mine, they even have fine print that says they reserve the right to change these conditions whenver they want, without prior notice, and you are giving them permission to do this just by using the service. The very, very fine print says 'if you don't like it, go stuff yourself'. The traditional way to resolve these customer/provider disputes is that the customer finds a provider that sees things his way. Not the other way around. -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
