<Edwin> Just a thought...

...but what if RR modified their Premium Service to an a la carte type model
in which users purchased increased bandwidth at the rate of say $8/Mb with a
cap at say 20Mb.

The regular service would stay at $44.95/5Mb and users desiring more
bandwidth would simply specify how much, download a config file, and start
paying $8/Mb over the $44.95. I know I'd personally be interested in >8Mb
speeds. Is it doable? fwiw...

Trust me, you're NOT going to see much, if ANY, difference.

I'm on Premium, and still only hit 5Mbps on a premium unlimited news server.

I'm going back to regular.

It won't go over 9MB. The system just has that limit.

The technology is there for higher speeds (up to 9 or 10) right now, but
I don't have the back office software and billing connections to
track and bill for this.
