There's so little option to choose from, and especially in my area where I either have Bell, or Rogers and that's it.

ISP's are stupid enough to dish out large amounts of money to restrict customers connection using "new" hardware. All while Cisco gets rich selling and promoting a restricted internet working on Cisco hardware.
LOSERS!

It is still much cheaper than to increase ISP's backbone bandwidth in order to handle all the traffic they oversold to begin with. That's the real reason why ISPs are doing this. | |

That's the real reason why ISPs are doing this. This is pretty true. Also, BT is a pretty nasty protocol in the way it will pretty much not limit itself, and take up a whole pipe. It seems like the ISP's wouldn't be able to keep up with BT traffic no matter how much they upgraded their pipes. | |

kudos:2 | Re: Yes... Not true. You can limit throughput and number of connections. In fact, performance is much better when such client limits are in place. | |

Bayside, NY | Re: Yes... Oh I know this. I just meant most people will open their clients up, and let the bandwidth get soaked. I have helped a few friends who have complained about slow internet connections with this. It's always been another roommate leave BT open, and taking all the bandwidth. | |
