hussam wroteFair usage policy is common sense. FUPs are already clear enough.
it is for you an me. but is everyone into IT? yu have customers like...well, my parents... do you think my parents can make the difference between what takes 1mb and what takes 100mb? what behaviors takes lots of bandwidth, which doesn't, ...
they should at least make a simple way to monitor your quota, a widget or something.
hussam wroteSaying an ISP does specify how much bandwidth I am allowed per month doesn't mean a FUP cannot be enforced and it is not an excuse to download 2GB of stuff you don't need every day.
you're free to use what you buy the way you want. imagine if you buy a car, and it's limited to 20km per day, because you don't need to drive more than that.
or you buy a dvd that self destructs after you watch it, coz who needs to watch the same movie 10 times?
or your phone communications end automatically after 2 min, coz you don't need to talk more than that.
you're free to use the services you apply for the way you want, if you need it or not.
i'm not saying that FUP should not be there, i'm just saying that "we don't need to download that much" is not an argument.
if you just want to do what you need, then just feed on bread, rice and water, you don't need to eat fancy stuff, and that's not to talk about chocolate, chips, chewing gums, ... which are totally useless. shame on people who eat these stuff.
