I think the solution is to cap the connections to x Gb per month. Our plans start at 30Gb of transfer per month. Then charge per Gb after that.
People's usage is just going to go up and up, with more and more streaming video, torrents, gaming etc. My opinion is, eventually you will NOT be able to keep up trying to provide unlimited service, unless you have sky high prices. I think caps and metered usage is inevitable, even for the big guys. Thanks, Roger On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 3:29 PM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote: > Only 20 connections?
