Ah, but the reality is that you *think* you're paying for something, but the
operator never really intended to deliver it to you.
If anything, we need better full-disclosure, preferably voluntarily, and if
not that way, legislatively required.

I don't know if that's a fair argument.
If I'm sitting at the end of 8Mb/768k cable modem link, and paying
for it, I should damned well be able to use it anytime I want.
24x7.
As a consumer/customer, I say "Don't sell it it if you can't
deliver it." And not just "sometimes" or "only during foo time".
All the time. Regardless of my applications. I'm paying for it.
