you guys have concluded what I been saying, its wrong to sell what they cant provide.

The ASA have took the wrong path on this, the ASA have effectively told the isp's as long as only a minority are victims of the policies they are legal.

Thats how 3G isp's managed to get away with selling unlimited packages which were actually just a few gigs usage limits.

Selling unlimited is meant to be a hard and expensive decision, it should be if you sell it you also prepared to support it, so if someone does go 24/7, then be prepared to lose money on it and make sure they can do that. As it is there is a big get out of jail card where can kick off users going over invisible limits and throttle the rest to drag their usage down.

FUP's are the get out of jail card for unlimited and shaping/STM is the get out of jail card for speeds that are too high.
