Sprint: Net neutrality means we can't stamp out download hogs

Re: Pure BS

"Throttling of any kind, after all, is—by definition—a limit"

By this definition, having a bandwidth of less than *infinity* is a limit, because if my bandwith is less than infinity, there is a limit to how much I can download in a given period.

I can appreciate that people feel they want to get what they've paid for, but in a network of finite resources there has to be, at some times, a way of dividing up bandwith so that all users get some service rather than some users getting all the service.
