Just gimme a second - I'm trying to check my email... Normally it takes like two seconds - but for people who've used "too much data" - the wireless providers are throttling down their connections - basically giving us dial up speeds. It should take just a few more minutes... My service provider says it's necessary so they can "manage data usage on their network." So why is it that in the United States - which is supposed to be the best at everything - especially connecting to the Internet - people have to wait 2 minutes for data to load on the Internet? Especially when they pay a pretty penny for the so-called unlimited data plan? The answer is...because our government has coddled the major telecommunications corporations in America for far too long - giving them monopolies in the marketplace. And with no competition - consumers are screwed - having to choose between one plan that costs too much and one plan that's far too slow - or both too slow and too costly. Without competition - there's no real drive in America to produce faster connection speeds at lower costs.
