Re: (unsurprising)
"We always rather arrogantly assumed the internet plumbing was free for all"
No, you self sanctimonious clown I didn't assume it was free, I pay a fee to access it and I'm glad I'm not in America.
Now you have to pay a double fee for the same service even though they were making money anyway and before anyone says that they will charge the service provider you can be sure they will pass that cost onto the user.
The right to complain is the fact your subscription cost up to now has been paying for that internet plumbing so no it was not free.
