[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 74438095, member: 313046"] If the definition of "socialism" includes services, then yes. Most of what you wrote was irrelevant to the point I was making, which was that the level of service guarantee I get form a public service (i.e. the FD) is similar to that I get from a private company. As an aside - it's not a bad contract. It's a pretty typical consumer-grade contract. Your ISP may have refunded you for the time you paid for the outage, or maybe a bit more than that if they were feeling nice, but they didn't incur a penalty for failing to meet a guaranteed uptime. On a commercial account with a dedicated line, you can get guaranteed throughput speeds and guaranteed up-times where failure to meet those specs results in the provider paying a penalty substantially higher than what they charged for that amount of time in the first place. I used to help manage a small office where our T1 had a guaranteed uptime that would result in us getting an entire month's bill refunded if it was down (IIRC) more than a couple minutes over the course of a month. I don't even know what you're going on about. You're just obfuscating. Was that so hard? [/QUOTE]
