It's even worse than that. Cable companies have to pay a portion of that add-on fee to the channels for their content. In this case of (not) throttling bandwidth, the ISPs are keeping all of the fees since you're not paying for the content, just access to it.

I'm blown away that you can change the font for cmd.exe, but you only get one other option: Lucida Console. Still, it beats "Raster Fonts".

You can actually add more fonts, though it requires editing the registry and doesn't work for all fonts, I think. It does let you at least get Consolas, which is good enough for the time I spend in cmd.

Or you can use http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ and you get other nice features as well

On Windows 7, you get Consolas as well -- and you can always edit the registry, as skermes pointed out.
