Is it just me, or does implying blanket limits (such as a 10Gig cap, no
static addresses etc.) completely go against the *point* of offering UBS
in the first place? Isn't this cutting out *much* of an ISP's control to
differentiate themselves from others? I know there is still things like
layer 2 switching control avalible from an ISP - but how could the
public know or understand things like that?

It looks like a totally weird move by TC, especially after they started
to redeem themselves in many people's eyes.

With jetstream games going (NO wonder usage of it is going down - they
need some admins with a clue to put up useful content - not just wget
random files (sorry jsg admins if your reading, your probably under alot
of pressure from TC), placed in a random directory structure - were we
all but have to crawl through to see if there is anything new, or lurk
on the forums constantly) and TC avoiding flat rate plans, its strangely
like we are going backwards - albeit we now have 256K. Looks like there
is a new universal constant - TC will continue to be the jerks they
are... no matter what happens.
