Section 27.e, Uniserve's Updated Terms of serviceThey were redesigning their website in January. I assume the changes were made about then. I only read them just before the election when they sent out an ADSL 2+ modem without explaining "why" in terms I actually believe. They say I can get faster Internet in the future, but with a bandwidth cap of 75 GB, I don't want faster Internet.
I ended up downloading the Spec for the modem: Backward support for traditional ADSL modems is optional. I suspect they want to take advantage of better byte counting in order to bill overages. I won't help them do that until I set up my own byte counter on my router. Intend to do that when I move to IPv6. With pending Internet surveillance legislation (and those TOS), my router will be sending Web traffic through an OpenVPN tunnel run by the Pirate Party as well.
PS: Two months ago, I was one of those people that did not understand the need for ubiquitous encryption. As important as encryption is authentication.
Update: The back-to-work legislation has received royal assent. Mail is expected to start moving again Tuesday, June 28.
