Understandably so. With Internet being declared a utility it was bound to happen. I just don't know if the companies holding the keys and setting these limits on a profit based system is the best thing for consumers. History has proven it usually isn't. Look back at what phone companies did with Long distance and what mobile companies are doing with broadband now.
