Talk:Be Un Limited

message: From the technical information section: "Be's connections are completely uncontended (1:1)". This is certainly not true and is contradicted by "Traffic is only limited by available bandwidth". An uncontended connection would have full bandwidth available regardless of other user traffic (they are also much more expensive than standard consumer connections for this reason). Edited.

message: So I see I've been judged a vandal and my work has been rudely undone because I removed this BS and didn't use an account:
:All three levels of ADSL service come provided with a leased "Be Box" (a branded Thomson SpeedTouch router) and an unlimited/uncapped bandwidth usage (subject to compliance with a Fair Usage Policy). Uncapped services are currently quite unusual from UK-based ISPs. Some ISPs claim to provide an "unlimited" service but have set bandwidth restrictions hidden away in their Fair Usage Policies. Be does not stipulate any such restrictions in their small print, and has only very rarely taken action against users[citation needed]. Their policy states they will only take action against users whose usage is '...so excessive that other members are detrimentally affected'."
Not that wikipedia editors are all bad, but this is easily the stupidist instance of wikipedia over-zealous editing that I've ever seen.  Everyone qualified to talk about it knows full well that current ISP services are rarely unmetered, and that "uncapped" + FUP is simply lies, and should be considered blatantly illegally misrepresentation of a product.  For wikipedia to repeat this misrepresentation is entirely WRONG, and for an editor to undo a correction regarding it is insane.  This is not an attempt to insult Be or anything else, as they're probably one of the best UK ISPs out there at the minute.  In fact, I'm interested in this article because I'm thinking of signing up with them.  Still, their marketing details are untrue, and wikipedia should not willfully repeat those untruths.  I'm really amazed that I even have to say this.
I've seen too much of this over-zealousness on wikipedia over the last few years (no, I'm not new, nor do I need to be hand-held, as the editor assumed simply because I didn't choose to log in).  Fix the article, or spread lies and propaganda for an untruthful company's advertising department.  Your choice, but wikipedia's standards will have slipped one step further if the correct choice is not made.
And no, I'm not signing in to play your "must be a good editor before he can have a point" game.  Try using logic to judge things, not favoritism/elitism/reactionism.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.219.25 (talk) 06:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
