Top 12 Reasons why I Hate Fair Use

Here are my top 12 reasons why Fair Use Policies should be banned by Ofcom.

  1. They tell you its Unlimited Broadband, then put an asterisk after it.
  2. Most ISP's don't tell you what the FUP limit is.
  3. Most ISP's don't know what the FUP limit is, they make it up as they go along.
  4. They use FUP to lie to you about Unlimited Broadband.
  5. They punish you to stop you using the service you have paid for.
  6. They punish you for using the service you have paid for.
  7. They say you are unreasonable because you use what they offer.
  8. They dishonestly use FUP to avoid comparing themselves against honest ISP's who list their limits.
  9. They use weasel words to make you feel you are in the wrong.
  10. They use weasel words to make other people think you are stealing from them, when it is the FUP that hides the theft from the ISP.
  11. They use the FUP to reduce their costs and reduce competition.
  12. They use the term Fair Use, when it is far from fair.
