Why should I subsidize you constantly streaming Netflix espn etc? That's what the cordcutters want...nothing but a bunch of leaches. It's like uninsured people showing up in the ER. It drives up the price for the rest of us. Same people who hate on this hate on data caps etc. why should I pay for you to torrent 20 movies?

the people who have abused the system seem to be the ones yelling the loudest. "power users" are a very, very small % of the market who use up an insane amount of bandwidth. they refuse to see the opposite spectrum of casual consumer use (which this theoretically will help a great deal)

power users are going to have to pay a lot more money for the internet the way they've been using it, and they're not happy

watch: ask them why we can't wait and see what happens. they will say it will be "too late" because the mass of consumers will have adopted to the new system and accepted it.
