RE: "When saving..."

Well said. Cold one for you.

The article's author wondered why, if users are upset, they aren't holding 'switch parties". In my part of the country, switch to what? You can switch back and forth between one company offering DSL on phone copper, and the other offering cable. They charge the virtually same. Oligopoly in fact.

I have no objection to paying for bandwidth used, really. I do have an objection to paying for bandwidth not delivered, either because the provider oversold the backbone, or because -- and this is relevant -- because the provider is giving priority routing to their own content.
