Not Really Unlimited ISP
from the that's-not-what-we-meant dept
I'm a bit surprised that customers aren't more upset by the latest move from InfiNet. Apparently, this ISP has decided that it's "unlimited" service for $20 a month, isn't really unlimited and is going to kick people off the service who use it too much. This is a huge mistake for a variety of reasons. If they didn't want people using the service that much, why did they create an unlimited plan in the first place? It's pretty silly to go back later and kick people off the service. All it's going to do is give them a bad reputation.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
