So on that day I’m back in the 20th century, dialing into a 56k line from another provider, using a local access number in the nearest town, and walking to the mailbox for Netflix discs.

I am proud of myself for slogging through the email switches and so forth, determined to cancel my contract and send a dollars-walking message, but I’m also sad because I did like Frontier’s service.

Yet I’m mostly annoyed that Frontier seems to want to dance us backwards, and via this miniscule cap offers us a distorted picture of an internet of decades ago when video transfer was uncommon.

It’s not right to tell me via a tiny cap that I can’t rent or buy what I may want from the iTunes Store across the internet. I am the one to decide where to buy my video content, and I got a DSL account precisely to be able to use the iTunes Store for video acquisition via the net. I did not expect to be limited to less than a movie a week of data transfer, surely.

Well don’t try to call me between 5 and 6am any more. The single line phone will be blippin’ busy and I might be downloading one 4MB track of music now and then from iTunes!

I hope Frontier ends up offering DSL tiers that make sense for people who’ve actually sought out the internet of 2008 and are pushing it towards 2009 and beyond. It’s not going to happen when carriers and content providers build ideas for their futures in isolation from the aspirations and efforts of their customers. The dialogues that are going on now are probably useful, but from the chaos of the past few weeks, it seems like they should have occurred years ago.

Thanks for the good information and keep up the good work.

i’m currently working on redownloading all of my steam owned content from their servers as after the cap it will take me two months to get the games let alone factoring anybody else in the houses bandwidth use and my own normal consumption just from internet and playing plenty of video games

they effectively have a monopoly on my rural area in bradford county PA i believe they serve a few different small towns of which in mine i know the locally owned cable company barely reinvests enough of its profits to make television look nice let alone to add any sort of cable connection

and for all i know when push comes to shove i could probably drop frontier dsl but have the only local # for dialup access be frontier dialup.

do they really believe that all of these little hole in the wall towns like mine will produce the company more money once they just drop all of their city users as from what i’ve read anybody that knows and has a choice has already dropped their service

i would also like to second the request from a prior article which would be a letter to the editor formatted piece about this that i could send to the area’s newspaper so people can already be informed that frontier will be sending them propaganda in the mail. it’s harder to make somebody realize it’s propaganda after they have already seen it, alot of sheeple these days

Are they trying to drive new business away? Is there main goal to have nothing but low usage e-mail users and everyone else should go away?

I then called customer service and was told they couldn’t help me but they could transfer me to technical support. They told me that the cap is not in place but they are looking into it and what the actual cap amount should be. His words were “It is coming. We just don’t know when and how much.”
