Twice in that paragraph you use the key word... "unlimited". If I pay for a 1Mb connection then fair use is anything up to 1Mb of anything I care to do with it. It I ridiculous to say that if I use all the bandwidth I pay for I am unfairly impacting someone else's performance. If the companies involved can't support the bandwidth they have sold that is their problem, not mine! -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:135673 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
