even though the "Tow Rating" says it should... Should FORD be sued because they advertised it wrong?
I think you just answered your own question. Ford put that "Tow Rating" sticker declaring tow capacity, his boat falls in the advertised capable capacity whether it's a generic sticker they put on for the large and small engines for the F150, or if the sticker is specific to that engine class. So at that point, either way the truck should be good for it, meaning that yes, Ford did falsely advertise to him, and therefor yes, they should get sued.
Somebody gave an example of an ISP having a maximum of 100Gbps on their end, and selling it to customers by evenly dividing it up. Now if what they allocate per customer is 10Mbps, that's what is advertised and the line is capped at that speed, and even if it has like a 100GiB per month total limit - ok enough. Depending on pricing that may or may not be a crappy deal for you, but at that point, that's your decision as a customer.
The problem is though, is they aren't doing things that way. What happens is the ISP advertises 20 to 30Mbps, they give you that speed alright, but because they oversold, they cap you at 50GiB per month, meaning either you have to throttle yourself to 10Mbps or only download for the first week - AND they still charge you at that $100 USD a month for a 30Mbps connection, even though as I said, you are forced to throttle yourself. THAT is where this entire problem comes from.
It's fine enough if they lower the speed, but it better be what's advertised and priced accordingly. Right now I pay $50USD a month for a 6Mbps cable line (you bastards are lucky if you're getting 20 or 30Mbps for the same price). If they lowered it to 2Mbps, ok that would really suck, but if it's priced accordingly at like $15 a month or so, that wouldn't be too bad. It's just that most of the ISP's seem to be wanting to force you to use that lower speed (whatever it is) while still charging you $50 a month...
