rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author srdiamond - Some people can't believe that highstream advertises as unlimited but shuts down users WITHOUT NOTICE if they exceed an unadvertised limit of ten hours per day. The excuse they use is that the rules don't allow a dedicated connection, but the rules...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author spider63 - I got a pop-up ad for Highstream that neglected to point out that their great price for monthly service had lots of limitations on usage. So a short time later I was suspended from using the internet until the next monthly cycle, and at that time the...
