The Patriot Act, just like torture by any other name, was just plain
stupid.

Around here the price is about the same, with Comcast being slightly
cheaper. I doubt DSL will actually _implement_ a cap at 5gb/mo, but
more likely would follow Comcast's lead in whatever they do. But the
fact they put it in their new TOS means they think they can get away
with _some_ sort of cap.

Actually no. I have a remote camera system that uploads images and
streams video. It is only active during off hours and is triggered by
mo
how much for the 5gb? how much to 250gb?
heard that a single hd movie is around 25gb. comcast has a problem. internet
sells of $40, cable sells for $100.

That is a fairly decent limit, I doubt I would ever blow through it, but I'm
still strongly considering FIOS. I'm paying $133/month just for cable and
Internet!

250gb/mo is at least realistic. The local phone company (Frontiernet)
is talking about 5gb/mo.
