[kictanet] Fwd: Link utilization

[Odhiambo Washington]

Nelson,

All ISPs have FUPs in their clauses. And you are right - no one reads
between the lines before signing.
The fact that you did not read them doesn't mean they never existed and as
such the ISP will be "right" in their action.
Ignorance of law is not a defence, they say? So is ignorance of the FUPs :)
