| Snesboy said: I've read pretty much every post in this thread and all I have to say is: "Fuck AT&T." Bandwidth isn't a natural resource. We create it and we should have unlimited of it. It's not hard to get a bigger server. My brother plays a shit ton of WoW and I'm always on YouTube or battle.net and Steam chewing up bandwidth because that's what you do on the internet. It's a bunch of shit that they think they can get away with this. We shouldn't be getting capped by a "resource" that we can have unlimited of. |
That's just it. Bandwidth is NOT unlimited. It requires hardware, electricity, and loads of other goodies (not including maintenance/monitoring labor). Ever seen how much power a small server farm requires? They consume more juice than the entire Empire State Building, and that's just for a modest one-or-two level farm.
Why do people think this stuff is free? IT'S NOT.
