Don't Terminate People's Internet Connections

Here in italy Fastweb pledged set up a 1-million gigabytes traffc pool from which all subscribers draw automatically. Once the million is over, traffic will be drawn from the account (granted, Fastweb offers ~50 GB/month for 9.90/month).

This is for now, i wouldn't be surprised if they extend it later on.

The thing is, Fastweb is big in residential internet connection but pretty minor as mobile provider.

No word from major providers (Vodafone, Tim, Iliad)

Currently for me 4G is the only option to work remotely (the only alternative would be going with a wimax provider, or sat). I don't normally incur in the data size caps, but I will soon in the current situation, even when trying to be conservative.

It also doesn't seem worthwhile to switch at the moment, since other solutions require a 1-2 year contract which I do not need (not to mention, it would also take 2-3 weeks to get a connection with those anyway).
