Primus to Cap Unlimited Access Accounts

15 Nov ’05

Just a few days after BroadbandReports.com posted on the end of Usenet at Rogers, they’ve posted on the imminent arrival of bandwidth caps at Primus on unlimited access accounts. Another step to moderate the effects of the few who are particularly bandwidth heavy?

At first, there seemed to mass confusion about what Primus intended to do, with some users reporting having received an email warning of imminent disconnection because of excessive usage (with Primus tech support being unaware of the policy). A follow-up post suggests no imminent disconnections, but that a new policy is in effect, with details to follow soon.

I know it’s fashionable these days to say that with VoIP voice will soon be free, but do developments like this really point in that direction?
