Hi C,
Well, for starters, 250 GB/mo translates to nearly a DVD/day.
How much time do you waste watching movies anyway!?
(I'm not going to tell you to 'Get A Life', but that thought DID occur
to me!)
Besides, if you have the dough, you can always get a business account.
If you believe in Capitalism, then those ISP's that provide a necessary
service will be the one's who survive. (I realize that there is
currently a government-imposed monopoly on most ISP's, but if there is
anyone who can't stand the heat from disgruntled constituents, it is our
elected officials.)
Server price & bandwidth are continually decreasing. Just wait until we
all have FiOS.
Isis
