Posted By: Tonya <symboliq@hotmail.com> In Response To: It's not that simple (Mel. White)

Hi Mel,
Yes, I know it isn't that simple and that all of the factors you list apply. But, if in addition to the other things that impact page loading you are suddenly on the "B" list for speed vs. your competition, then that will be a factor also.
As I said before, paying higher rates for speedier processing or more bandwidth is perfectly reasonable. I posted the Moveon.org information because it appears that the motive is not increased charges based on use, but a desire to institute fees simply for an advantageous relationship with the telecommunications companies. Given some of the publicized antics about questionable billing by phone companies (last I heard, the #1 complaint to the FCC was inappropriate billing and fees to cell phone users), I don't find it too hard to believe that this could be a negative thing for consumers.
Anyway, I've said my piece and am bowing out of this thread. I don't want to end up like Tracy did last week.

Not really. There's a zillion things that impact how fast you surf the web
> and how fast a company delivers pages, including:
> * how well a website is programmed (I'm a retired web desinger, and I can
> list you an ocean of pages with horse-choking graphics and Gratuitous PHP
> and so forth that would load slow s molassas even with an Instant Internet
> Connection.
> * how fast the client's computer is (including how fast the hard drive is,
> how much memory is available, etc.
> * how good the fiber optic cabling and other equipment is between the
> company and the client (is there data loss along the lines, so that the

> * how many people are accessing the company's web page (even places like
> CNN, with HUGE and fast servers and blazing connection still crawl to a
> standstill on high news days.)
> * outside issues like DNS (hacker) attacks and smurfing (another type of
> hacker attack.)
> * how jammed the connections and machines are dealing with Other People on
> the Internet (spammers.)
> * how fast the website server is in delivering music/movies/other product
> * how many requests are in the queue for streaming media.
> If we could kick everyone off the Internet except you and me, block the

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
