What happens if they get alot of atheltic teams with big eaters showing up all the time, messing up their calculations resulting in a situation that is not profitable overall? A) One day the price changes. B) One day the all-you-can-eat menu changes. C) One day the all-you-can-eat is no longer offered. D) Resturant goes out of busniess. You folks seem to want to see option C or D occur to your high-speed provider. What's an extra few months of having high-bandwidth servers on a home service going to be worth when you end up with no service at the end?
