but do i get "the Internet"? ... your claim is that i am not paying for it. my bills indicate that i -am- paying for it. (regardless of priority... after all, the Internet is "best-effort" ... and w/ QoS, i don't get that anymore... i get the choice to buy crap instead of best effort...) Best effort is the top-tier of the QoS/priority pyramid... as sad as that is. and as others have cleverly pointed out, what i really am buying is full employment for the AP departments of telco/isps. :) --bill
