Re: Network Testing Underway said by M Willner:The most important reason for nodes becoming overloaded is what the customers are doing on the network. P2P, games, and other high bandwidth applications, many of which run in the background, are the major reasons why nodes slow down. We designed the network to anticipate customer growth but if the usage changes unexpectedly, we must provision additional bandwidth. Our residential service was not designed to provide unlimited bandwidth. Web hosting, and other high bandwidth business applications are not permitted uses of our residential service. Those types of applications are permitted with Insight Business which is a specialized service that allows us to provision for the anticipated bandwidth needs of our high-use customers. So it is insight's stance that p2p and games are high bandwidth applications and if a residential user wishes to use these applications they need to go to the business tier? I find that a joke, and paragraph removes all credibility from your entire statement. |

| You guys need to reread it. "P2P, games, and other high bandwidth applications"
This clearly classifies p2p and games as high bandwidth applications. And states that their are others. |
