[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="5" id="2823195"]My IP "says" I have 100 mbps and I pay $50 a month...problem is I don't get anywhere near 100 mbps. It all depends on the websites themselves from what I've seen and what they allow you to download at. I think it's just a gimmick to get more money out of you.[/quote] That's the maximum speed of your network card, not you're actual speed. Under XP mine said the same and I only had a 5 Mbps connection.

Totally irrelevant. There was the Y2K problem, the chip capacity problem, and the Internet speed limit. All of them we easily solved. If we listened to the naysayers, people with their heads in the sand, we would still be living in the Stone Age....... You forgot about IPv6.

I'm just thinking of the irony of this discussion on justice when we're at war with a people who practice the very system that some on here want so badly and even removed them for it. i.e. The Taliban in Afghanistan. It all comes down to the fact that they want Sharia Law instead of the more humane legal system we have now where everyone is equal under it.

My provider in now offering two new bandwidth options 30 Mbps and 100 Mbps. Right now I have 15 Mbps and it seems to suit most of my needs, plus it doesn't have any caps or limits on as well for $65 per month including tax. 30 Mbps is about $20 more a month more, but it'll have a 250 gb cap and the 100Mbps with be $170 per mouth with the same cap. Should I upgrade, and to what, or stay with what I have now?

One last thing. When I turn 65 I'll get a full pension with all of its benefits and I paid NOTHING into it. Most likely it'll be at least three times what I get now on disability and I still have a higher quality of life than you do.. That's the thing, you get the same whether you paid into it or not. I get the same as someone who paid full premiums all of their adult life. Do you still don't want to Euthanize the elderly and infirm? The jokes on you.

Your way of thinking is not logical or even rational. Even with CP you main concern turns out not to be justice or revenge, but costs. No body costs society more than the elderly

[quote who="Jafo" reply="146" id="2821859"] Remember...if you do costing properly you'll find that the idea of free public transport is LESS of a burden on society/tax payers than non-free. You NEED to factor in projected reduction of road trauma due to 'less' road use. Trouble is...no Govt. has the balls to introduce it...probably too many commercial 'interests' in NOT doing so.[/quote] How about the elderly or disabled? They cost society much without any hope
