Re: Translation

You are insane.

The entire business model of ISPs is and has been oversubscription. Reserving 1:1 bandwidth is the circuit-switch telephone model. It simply isn't affordable and is NOT what has powered the growth of the Internet.

Actually, that is true with most residential communications, computer or voice. Just try using the phone (cell *or* POTS) after an earthquake, tornado, or other major news disaster when over 30% of the people are trying to call in/out, or in some areas where a special promotion requires you to call in.
