# i've had a fantasy/nightmare/conspiracy theory since i was a kid.

# oh yes.
it's not an uncommon fantasy, it has variants all over (invasion of the body snatchers, etc.) and i think more than a few street crazies share it.

# you're the gravel-voiced neighbour lady who sits on her fire escape and smokes all day?
people look up your skirts and grimace, you know.

# Maybe so.
They keep fucking looking though don't they :)

# i think the rancid drips of septic vaseline landing on their heads makes them look up.
but i could be wrong and don't want to start any false rumours.

# IT was for me
but then again my connection's been really crappy in the evenings lately. And I've just heard that my ISP is choking bittorrent downloads.

# People on b3ta are just so rude today. My My My!
Is there any respect in this world for Shitty Fucking ISPs?

# my connection was down for over two hours last night.
i hope all of their employees and the politicians they rent find blood in their stool.

# Stool or stools?
Surely not just one!

# just one, for them all.
connected by a greasy fecal string, like geese.

# What's the justification?
I was under the impression that I was paying for bandwidth, not the right to download certain formats at the discretion of the ISP.

# i think satan ordered it to piss smart people off.
dumbasses don't care, but they're easy to annoy.

# hmm
it's one of those uncomfortable situations where I've come up against the ultimate powerlessness of the consumer. I can call their customer service department and moan and reason and scream as much as I like, I know it's not going to change anything. And they're the only cable company that supply our area.

# keep checking, and ask in a local tech forum.

# You can buy as much bandwidth as you want
provided you don't actually want it most of the time.
