This is why I filed with my state's attorney generals office to have them look into it. I made that decision after myself being thrown off line with a bandwidth problem and looking the issue over. What I found were people taking anywhere from powering up fifty bucks worth to get five minutes of bandwidth to people taking hundreds and waiting hours still to get back online. There is absolutely no other issue more pressing then fixing this one because you can't sell a product that you can't deliver, that about as realistic as it gets. I've read blog after blog of promised fixes going back for quite a while yet nothing gets done. They claim it's to control spam but spam isn't being controlled. Then they say it's a virus. Who knows what the problem really is but the bigger problem facing them is that you have to state to people right up front of any business venture what the price is going to be to engage, how much money gets you what amount of steam and then the bigger question to me is why do I even have to give up my steam to stay on the platform...why can't that be my accumulated power I earned by being on the platform to do with what I want to do with it. Yesterday I was out of bandwidth when I got on and today to so my next blog was going to be about people writing their attorney generals because short of that I don't see any other way this is going to get solved. It's just basic simple rational thought that you cannot sell a product that you cannot deliver, and you cannot sell a product blindside....you get this much product for this price and that has to also be known upfront. This is a great idea they have but it doesn't allow them to break the law(s). You make money by posting and responding but if you can't respond well....?
