The Internet

[Buffalobiian]

The caps here aren't really that bad. They've always been there, they are just finally admitting that they are using them, which is a better thing. I've been locked down few times, and my ISP isn't even one the ones publically accused of traffic shaping. 250 gigs is a lot today, and they will get a lot of hell from angry customers if they don't scale that when the time comes, but for the average user, they'll never reach it.

At least we don't have any intentions of a nationwide plan for internet censorship in order to "save the children."

I know it is the wrong thread, but the response from the head of iiNet, 'Sure, we'll use it, and report each and every time how much it consistently sucks,' made me smile.

It seems you're more on top of this issue than I am Ryll . iiNet happens to be my ISP, and your post made me read their official stance on the matter:

I thought they dropped this idea when the National Broadband Survery showed strong opposition towards this idea at the beginning of the year. Guess not. I'm just hoping they're leaving the blocked sites in the trial to child porn and leave BT trackers alone. It would be a sucky free-download Xmas if that happened.

The idea's definitely good on paper, no doubt about that. Just completely and utterly impractical.

(oh, and I hereby express my support for iiNet. Never loved them more )
