Most home users don’t even get the difference it is usually all about price and even with the old figures you can see why they should be concerned.

This cable, made of optical fibre will provide much greater speeds, reducing drastically the costs of Internet connectivity. The amount paid for connectivity today may become much cheaper. This is a direct pointer to a serious economic development.

It’s in it’s infancy here in the UK - being priced at approx £60.00 which is about $100 at the moment.

I recall now that ISPs usually only get concerned and start/want to monitor traffic when you are using so much bandwidth that it is affecting other people on the network.

But this is what I have heard on Whirlpool and so it could be wrong.

lol backups, that what I tell my dad when he asked what happened to all my DVDs a while ago.

“What happened to all of those DVDs you just bought?”

“Um..what? Oh yeah, I just used them to back up my hard drive in case I need to reformat :/”

“You used 50 DVDs?”

“Um..yeah, cause there is lots of stuff on my hard drive and I back up monthly”

In reality I was selling stuff to people, I’ve made $170 so far
But I did actually use a few for backing up.

Thanks for your timely response, Mitchell.

I’m concerned with their privacy policy too. They’d check on you if you use too much bandwidth? I believe some ISP’s in the US do check on what their subscribers have downloaded. I read a post from the uTorrent forums 4 months ago about this. The poster was asking if he was being tracked since he just received an e-mail from his ISP telling him to delete the copyrighted material he downloaded or face the consequences. He claims to have downloaded it for backup purposes.

INAL, but I believe that they can monitor traffic going through their network if they have a good reason and explicitly do not share any information or use any information that is irreverent.
