Is their line running at near capacity at all times? If not it seems not only not fair, but silly to have their network lines sitting mostly idle for the last week of every month.
If the telcos are not price gouging, there shouldn't be a problem with data caps. Stop being a cheapskate!
>Even if it was possible to implement QoS to broadband
It most certainly is possible.
>Why should someone in a busy area be capped when they reach the limit
What limit? I'm arguing that there shouldn't be a limit. You just provide a guaranteed minimum bandwidth. When the line is under-utilized the connected clients can use as much as they can. When utilization goes up traffic is shaped down as far as needed to handle it.
With data caps then people in your less busy areas will find themselves completely offline toward the end of the month while the line sits idle. Why?
