network

Most of you don't know but I live in Romania, and once upon a time we also had bandwidth transfer limitations.
A few years ago our network plans were something like 30$ for 256kbps and 20Gb bandwidth limitation.

The reason that we don't have those stupid limitations right now, and that we can enjoy about 2-10Mbps external internet connection (that means outside of Romania) and 20-50Mbps connections in the country, is that we fought this system in a very logical way, without bitching about it very much.

What was our solution you ask me? Well, it's pretty easy. We made our own little LANs and bought a business connection that allowed unlimited traffic to happen on it. The costs were split equally between the LAN members and everybody was happy. In time larger LANs formed and small companies started to appear that offered unlimited transfer internet in their area. And those companies grew and the big internet players started to change also, first they increased the cap of the transfer, after that they started offering some plans with unlimited transfer and after that we get to todays situation when we can enjoy our own little freedom.

So stop complaining and act!

/ps
If you want to know I pay 10$/ month for 5Mbps/50Mbps uncapped bandwidth.
