Videos and Other Bandwidth Sucking Sites
Howdy
Due to an unfortunate accident I had some time ago my Doctors have told me to forget about working again. Now it is time for me to put a full-time effort into this business. I have been doing this on a PT basis for several years, but with my new outlook on things I have begun to try and catch-up on the newest trends and tactics, which brings me to my headline.
We live out in the middle of no-where, literally! Our only 2 choices for internet are dial-up, and satellite, and of course we use the Hughes Satellite Service for our internet. The thing is they have a fair access policy which limits downloads to 250 meg to 450 meg depending upon your plan, and they are not cheap.
Trying to follow the IM crowds emails, there seems to be a lot of automatically starting videos, which on top of that have no stop button. This leaves me with no choice but to close the whole page, just to shut off the video. If I find myself doing this a lot, I imagine there are other folks doing the same thing. I have seen several products that I had a real interest in purchasing, but couldn't afford to stay on the website long enough to make the purchase.
Please at least put the STOP button back. If I read your salespage/website and then decide I want to watch the video, I have options with Hughes to be able to do that, but it won't happen if I have to close the browser before I can read it.
I know those of us with dial-up and satellite connections are living in the dark ages, but some of use don't have a choice, and we can be good customers too.
