[wplug] Data caps :(

[Justin Smith]

While browsing the Web earlier this week, I was redirected to a landing 
page from my ISP, Armstrong Cable, saying that I'd used roughly 80% of my 
250GB monthly bandwidth allowance. Since there hasn't /been/ a monthly 
bandwidth allowance up until this point, you can imagine how ticked off I 
was. 

Not only is Armstrong trying to pad its profits with data caps, it's trying to 
lock people into paying for extra services by lowering the data cap by 50GB 
for each service you /don't/ get through them. Want to cut the cord on 
cable? Sorry, that's a 50GB penalty. Want to use an Ooma for phone 
service? Sorry, that's another 50GB penalty.

Can anyone recommend an uncapped ISP that services the North Hills? I'm 
looking for speeds approximately equal to what I receive now - 10 Mbps 
down, 2 Mbps up.
