I can get unlimited downloads for about what I was paying for dialup unlimited downloads. The only real downside with the current broadband offerings is that unlimited downloads have to be scheduled so they dont happen in peak time. Fine by me, tho it would obviously be a bit better if I didnt have to schedule. I get a real permanent line with much better speeds than are possible with dialup, for about the same cost as dialup. I dont plan to pay for your activitys any time soon and I'm not stupid enough to move to pomland or yankeeland or canuckland and have to put up with the shit thats inevitable in any of those places, just to get completely unlimited broadband.
