Re: Translation true the AUP doesnt guarantee bandwidth. The ONLY thing that i ask of my isp is that they DO NOT RESTRICT WHAT PORTS OR WHAT DATA i send on my line. if the bandwidth to max out my connection is available and not being used by anyone else on the same co then i damn well expect to be able to use it on any port. i dont want a connection where port 80, and 8080 are the only 2 ports that can use maximum bandwidth.
As long as an isp make a good attempt to get the amount of bandwidth that every user needs to his/her home then i am happy with it (i can see comcast or sbc trying to "low ball" the number so they only buy 45 mbit to support 1000+subs).
Does anyone know what the current user to bandwidth ratio that major companies use? it would be interesting to find out that information, like 15 users @ 5 mbit : 1 isp connection @ 5 mbit.
i dont have rcn cable so does anyone know if them limiting bandwidth to certain applications is justified? or are they just trying to lower there cost? a justification would be your bandwidth drops significantly during peak hours or ur max bandwidth cannot be obtained during off hours. |
