Funny how many ISPs still advertise "unlimited" internet, though have some fine print somewhere about some limits. I'm sick of lying advertising. We even had one who'd previously avoided that sending an e-mail to their customers apologising that they were about to advertise an unlimited account, that wasn't really unlimited, simply because their competition did so and it was harming their sales not to have an account with the same name. > This wa sonly done in the very early days, they days where we could trust > users to be sensible, More like it was technically impossible for a user to download more than x bytes per month, thanks to the slow download speed. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
