True, but the starband problems have a lot of good evidence supporting them.
There are also some policies that I've never even heard of, like being FAPed!?
This has something to do with a customers dowload rate being capped when they
reach a certain amt of downloaded data, and apparently the amount where the cap
kicks in is not advertised (perhaps it's variable?).  I would pitch a fit if my
ISP did this.
