ISPreview ask the question, does unmetered actually exist? |
 Ultimately the problem is on all of us, the consumers, to pay for the usage we expect. The freecall Internet revolution has created a new type of consumer, one who believes he or she should be able to ask the impossible, but then it's only because at the end of the day - ISPs offer it. Yet keep in mind that unmetered doesn't exist, so if you use the net for 24hours a day, that could cost an ISP as much as £1,000 per month. We have no right to ask that of them, although we do because quite simply, they offer it and so we end up in a vicious circle. For any of this to change ISPs need to start advertising their restrictions, although they won't do while competition is so high. They'd all have to change at once for anything to be different, either that or Oftel could finally push BT to introduce a TRUE unmetered system. It's our hope they'll read this and see that. Until then unmetered doesn't exist and if you can get broadband through cable or ADSL in your area then do so as that's a better alternative. [Print Page | Main Page ]
