I don't think it's stupid. With a 56k modem you don't have any MB included at all, and you pay for traffic. Yes, you also pay when you install Windows Updates, McAfee updates or whatever. But if I were a "non-techie", I'd still prefer ADSL 150/50 instead of a 56k modem - because it's faster! *duh*

At the end, you pay almost the same per hour like with a 56k modem (maybe something less) and you're faster. Again, this product wasn't thought for technical people, but for dial-up users who would like to get rid of the old, slow, noisy modem (yes, you can turn off the speaker, I know :-)) and maybe allow the husband to place a phone call while the wife plays Swiss Lotto, without needing ISDN. Is this so difficult? /methings ADSL Light was a great idea by Swisscom. Why does everything need to do Swisscom-bashing as a principle?

That's exact my position. 20MB/month.. This is really stupid.. 20MB exhausted in a few days by reading your daily spam, some other mails with attached files and so on..

I think no one need ADSL with 20MB traffic limit, the good, old 56k modem is a much better solution for these "Gelegenheits-surfer" No basic free, no traffic limit.. You pay exactly what you get..
