Help ! This is huge and very serious for Brazilians.
Internet providers are scheming to steal more money from their users.
They want to put limit on the amount of bandwidth usage.
Most people don't have enough knowledge about computer and internet to realise how expensive internet will become.(especially in a country well known by it's corruption)

Please. Help by signing this petition against it.

Spread this among friends.
Please help, we can't count on our leaders to stop this. More people signing, bigger the chance we have.

Most of the world has been doing this for ages.. get used to it.

I came here to ask for help, because i don't live in a political fair country.
Seems like you don't care and don't want to help.
Please don't come here to speak against it, to criticise or hate.
It is not implemented here yet, so excuse me if i don't want to get robbed by my internet provider.

I'm not here asking for money or anything like that.
I'm asking you to enter the site and sign your name.

No to this. North America has had this cap on bandwidth for over 16 years. Why should anywhere else be any different? You say this is unjust? Then how just is it for everywhere else to impose these laws to their internet users?
I remember a telco charge $5000 to a client for bandwidth over usage. It is there to curb people from abusing their internet access.
REMEMBER: Internet access is not a god given right - It is a privilege.

Since you are screwed over, you want the same for others.
I still have the chance to fight this, and i'm doing so.

146,500 so far.

Not me i say a client, as in some on else. Pffft!  :P
This is point less to argue as you want to be free from laws. Go ahae wit yah!

Thank you for let us know about the issue and huge cost of using internet.

Hahh, that is great. Typical USA thinking.
We have democracy, every country need to have it and so on :D

OP, I can sign it, but I dont think it will change anything. I mean- this petition :)

Ask all you want but your wasting your time.
If this has to be told to you then uhhhm LOL

Good luck with the petition, maybe it will convince your government to do something. Chances are however that if the right palms are greased, like in any shallow capitalist economy, that the people who hold the power on this decision will vote with their wallet. You're actually lucky it's taken so long to happen, some of your telco's probably got bought by big American multinationals and this is their attempt to maximize profits (at the expense of users).

Will the law force all ISP's to restrict data or simply allow this format of charging?

Hizzmoot & Fortify Thank you for seeing the situation as it is.
I know, it is a long shot, but, doesn't hurt to try.  And also, is necessary to state that i'm against it.

For those who are criticising. I didn't made the petition, i signed and made a topic about it, and look, i'm still alive.  :o



Allow it. But the thing is, all companies will implement it right away and the prices are already abusive as it is.
