( think torrent files )

I know it's a poor analogy but it is the area in which my business operates and one that makes sense to me.
Isp's are making a profit belive it or not, and i never said for one moment isp's shouldnt make a profit, if an isp thinks they need a better profit as with many they increase prices yes? not throw some illegal data mining operation with features of Targeted (lol) advertising and bigger lol phising.

If i supplied you a budget for a house and you built the house with inferior materials to do it and between certain hours of the day i'd have to redesign your house by pulling the odd wall down for a period of hours a day or leave you with no bathroom till the end of the month (as in aup but thats another subject) would this be a fair reflection on the price you paid for the house? or could you just stay honest and increase your budget to pay for this instead of mis-selling.

Im off to the retarded paranoia school again for a while to chat to like minded people and leave the more well informed and more educated people to spin how advertising rocks and forget about the real issue.
