But the whole point is that it doesn't need to be that way. Is Facebook paying off tremendous amounts of money to Rogers or Bell to offset bandwidth costs? Probably not. It takes the same amount of bandwidth to load up a Facebook page as it does to load any other page. Except you're checking it more often, so you're actually using more.

And this makes the whole idea of the Internet being a metered utility like water or electricity moot. You can't make some water molecules, or electrons flowing into your house less or more expensive than others. It's all the same poo poo.

We don't have UBB for our sewer, do we?

Does anybody have experience with Bell/Alliat FiberOp? How are speeds? How are the monthly costs and how was the hookup?

I thought service with them just made your rear end in a top hat wider.

I really don't like the wording on the opt-out page. The options for opting out are "Relevant targeted ads" or "Unfiltered random ads".
