I seriously think this "unlimited internet" is a load of crap. So much so that as a complete stranger to this site I can't resist adding a comment. I believe I have experienced "packet shaping" by my ISP which is Charter Communications here in St. Louis. This happens all too often to be a coincidence. I believe it is true that there is a set GB/month bandwidth and as I mentioned it's too much of a coincidence that nearing the end of every month my up/down speed is nearly cut in half. I pay $80/month for 10Meg. What I should do is monitor my connection speed daily and prove my theory. (although I think there are too many variables involved to pinpoint packet shaping as being the only source of bad connectivity). This is BS and it's time that the ISP's start to annie up to the table and be up front with the terms. Joost user here… I seriously think this “unlimited internet” is a load of crap.
