I Agree. I don't think it's any different than the rest of this thread<br>
where people are concerned/complaining about certain channels being<br>
moved/removed. Companies like Comcast are going to do everything they<br>
can to squeeze more money out of us. Personally I'm focused on finding<br>
a reasonably priced ISP that doesn't have this conflict of interest -<br>
selling bandwidth vs. selling services over that bandwidth.</blockquote></div><br><br>That's the biggest reason I'm with the ISP I am. They are local only, so if you live in the Salt Lake area, let me know and I'll give you the name. I find the local guys are much more reasonable as long as you aren't being a jerk and messing things up for other customers. My ISP flat out told me I could run 24/7 so long as I didn't cause problems for them. I even have a static routable IP and permission to run server apps. I just make sure I don't cause problems and everyone's happy. Check for local Wireless based ISPs, I have found them to have the best speed/$ ratio without all the hassles you get from Comcast and the like. <br>
