New It's not unlimited...
It's "Up to 15 mbps download" or whatever.

Catch is -- if you start USING 15 mpbs the companies get ticked off. They've oversold their network so if you start using that much, they need to throttle you back.

Really - it's not that Hulu provides competition for Comcast...honest.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."
