Your first two reasons I agree with, the second two are nonsense, the fifth one is completely contrary to what all the pro-cap people are claiming (i.e. if you have 3 computers networked you should pay for it), and your sixth one is complete and utter rubbish.

I think that your response illustrates quite well the futility of trying to reason with you.

So, nobody uses any apps that need high bandwidth that they use at odd times now and again. Do you know what every user does with their connection and what apps they use?

Is it nonsense to say that some users need the upload speed and aren't too bothered about the download speed. There are many on here that would disagree with that. What about gamers who want to host games? What about people that want to upload many pictures or videos quite regularly but don't want to download verymuch at all. Don't these people exist?

Why is having 3 computers networked which at odd rare times need the 3Mb contrary to what the pro-cap people are saying. There are many people with more than one computer networked that have a usage level below the caps. My brother has three computers networked which are often all used at the same time but the kids are limited in the time they are allowed to spend at their computers and this is nothing to do with capping. I still stand by the idea that having more than one computer connected is no reason for having a larger cap and that such usage should cost more if they are using more bandwidth than a single user.

So you think that saying most broadband customers only use their connection for a few hours daily and are not tied to it 24/7 is complete and utter rubbish. I think that you must be living in cloud cuckoo land.
