Please tell me "Who" On The Planet - Reads the fine Print on anything?, aside from Lawyers etc ... Plus - that's not my point - i can remotely host. It's about who/why/when decides how much "BandWith" a paying suscriber needs. When I signed up - I fell for the Commercial's, and the "UNLIMITED" advertisement. Not the "UNLIMITED" tell we decide otherwise part .... Say what you want - UNLIMITED is UNLIMITED. Not UNLIMITED but Read the Small Print. Can You Read This : Class Action Law-Suit? I don't mean to sound/type "Mean". But - Fact of the matter is - I speak for the Millions of people who are getting screwed - not the 20 or 30 techs or Lawyers who read "THE SMALL PRINT". In my opinion - SMALL PRINT - is Protection or a Warning on How they Will/Can Screw you in the Futur.
