Because of P2P, I've been able to catch up on a lot of educational stuff from sources I would have otherwise missed. I particularly enjoy the wide variety of documentaries and "do-it-yourself" guides that are made available via P2P. After 33 yrs as a cable t.v. and 6 yrs internet subscriber, I finally had enough of Rogers' BS and recently told them where to go. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Rogers decided to highjack my homepage and force me to agree to their new “victim” polices such as the 60gb maximum download cap when my contract clearly states “unlimited” This endeavor on Rogers’ behalf was non-negotiable and unless I agreed to their terms on the spot, my connection would not be re-established. I’ve recently signed up with a not-for-profit DSL provider called National Capital Freenet for a flat 30.00 per/mth fee, 200Gb monthly cap, and no contract. Except for Bell’s throttling, I couldn’t be happier with the service. You can visit them at NCF.ca for more info, it’s a great concept.
