>From an engineering point of view, I think there would be little incentive to cap FIOS because it does not have the same flaws as cable provided broadband. Of course they still could apply caps as a means of charging extra for something that costs them almost zero. Evil has no bounds. We had the cable vs DSL/fiber discussion here a few months ago and our cable fan bois insisted that cable provided broadband was not technically flawed and severely bandwidth limited. We now see that cable can not carry the load. Of necessity, as more people sign up for cable provided broadband, the caps will get lower and lower and lower. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
