Wow, if it wasn't for Web Sherrif confirming the picture is actually Axl Rose, I would have thought it was Chris Farley doing an Axl Rose impersonation.
Thank you Web Sherrif for verifying the authenticity of the picture.
Let's pretend: - They are tracking usage and it's close to accurate - The network is actually approaching capacity, for fun let's say 90% is the trigger point.
Start throttling the people who are online during the congestion in the order of their usage. - At 90.1% - throttle top 1% - At 90.2% - throttle top 2% - At 90.3% - throttle top 3% ...
As the congestion goes down, walk it backward and un-throttle in the reverse order.
Assuming they have usage data in a database, the query for which currently connected user to throttle is entry level easy.
Results: 1. Congestion solved. 2. Throttling only happens when it's actually needed. 3. People adjusted fairly according to their usage. 4. No extra charges.

I already refuse to watch anything that (at the very least) hasn't been pause long enough to skip commercials. I guess now anything Fox related will be pushed back by 7+ days.
Or, I guess I can find something to watch that's not all trashed with annoying crap.

Of course that's the problem when your argument is nearly completely wrong and your personal echo chamber is running at full delusion levels.
Even the "perfect" case will blow up in your face. Hopefully it can also shatter their delusions.... well, we can always wish.
