I think some of you may not be catching what was really in the article... Shaw is not blocking Vonage, they are infact selling services to make the Vonage experiece better. They are not lowering the priority of the packets to the Vonage network without the QOS serice, but instead they are speeding up the travel of the VOIP packets (within the shaw network). You're read too far between the lines, and your logic is a little flawed... by giving priority to your telephony packets over mine, aren't you by definition degrading my service? Take the example to the extreme and you'll see why. if the "line" can support 5 concurrent calls, and 5 people have "special" status on their packets, what happens to the "regular" packets?
Reverting to the airplane analogy, this would be like saying the people in coach are getting all the benefits of first class, but without the guarantee of a hand job from the sky waitress. |
