Actually the saying is “Don’t mess with Texas.” And Beaumont is a small town where people should be glad just to have broadband. If they brought this to Dallas Houston Austin San Antonio or Fort Worth I’m sure they’d have a small uprising on their hands.

5GB is pathetic. I blow through that in under an hour easily. That limit is so low that a heavy internet user could break it even without doing any file sharing! Ridiculous!!

While I agree with the approach on this one 5GB Up and Down is WAAAAAAAAYYYYY to small for $30/mo. I would expect something like 250GB for that price. If that was my only option for broadband internet I would probably go back to dialup don’t need a 768kbs connection to read my e-mail (and if there was only a 5GB cap thats pretty much all I would be able to do).

Are they crazy. Are we supose to go forward not backward. This was the norm in the early 90’s when there was very few people online. It didn’t work before and it shouldn’t but these company are going to shove this down on us to increase profit.

Unlimit internet at 16 kbps for $29.99 and 48 kbps for $54.90 just for bare minium. It should be 15 GB for $29.99 and $59.99 for unlimit 2 Mbps or 100 GB limit at 15 Mbps per month.
