When you signed on, didn't you agree to pay per month for a given
service level? If I understand you correctly, @home has now changed the terms
of the agreement.
We need competition for cable service in a big, big way. :-(
I don't have the option for DSL where I live (yet), and my cable "ISP" (I
have to put that in quotes, because they couldn't find their bungholes with
both hands and a roadmap) guarantees 1500K down and 500K up for what I'm
paying, BUT they block all the ports below 1024. :-(
I can hack around that, given a friendly site outside their firewall who's
willing to divert packets for me, but it's still a PITA.
