Re: Absolutely!!!

Say you have two competing providers with identical networks and service plans. One markets their plan as "up to 6M", and the other offers "3M guaranteed". Which one do you think people are more likely to sign up for?

I agree that the ambiguity can be frustrating, but given that building a shared-resource network that supports 3M 100% of the time is much more expensive to build than one that offers 6M 90% of the time, there isn't an easy solution.
