perhaps the advertising language needs to be overhauled. Obviously, a dialup
user running services pulling max bandwidth 24/7 on an entry-level account is
a problem. However, to play devil's (customer's?) advocate, it _is_
advertised as 'umlimited access' ... It seems kind of, well, silly to
advertise a service in certain language, and then to complain when somebody
takes you literally.

Perhaps I'm just not seeing this from the business perspective. :)
