Well, it's NOT. If they don't want to upgrade to meet "consumer demands", that's their business.
Perhaps I misunderstood your post, but if I am a network operator and my customers are not getting what they pay for, how is it not my responsibility? The BBC should not be responsible for helping build infrastructure; it's not their infrastructure. Should I pay the power company extra because of summer brownouts? If the network can't handle demand, then the network operator should step up and improve their service, otherwise they should restrict service and charge a premium for those who want it. Besides, I'm sure that whoever the BBC is paying to host all that content probably isn't complaining - I can guarantee they're paying out the wazoooooo!

Yeah, idiots -- but not the ISPs.

"And here you were thinking it was the network operator's job to fund capacity upgrades in order to meet consumer demand...."

Well, it's NOT. If they don't want to upgrade to meet "consumer demands", that's their business. Take it or leave it.
Leave it. You know there's going to be some ISP who will be willing to put up with all this bandwidth use and that will happily absorb all the people leaving the ISPs that try to hinder what the user wants to do.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18866128 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 16:35:18 EDT Re: Idiots. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18865875 quatrix : Yeah, idiots -- but not the ISPs.

If you want unrestricted, unfiltered, unshaped, do what you want to with it bandwidth, stop buying residential class services.

When they figure the pricing on these services they don't figure that the end user is going to slam it at 100% 24/7. This is how they bring the price down. If you were to go to a data center and buy 8Mb of service from any vendor you wont get it for the same per/mb you get at home. You won't even come close. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18865735 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:32:01 EDT Idiots. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18864779 Guspaz : Tough luck. Your subscribers pay you to provide a connection at a certain speed. Plenty of ISPs out there can afford to provide service to heavy bandwidth users, you UK ISPs can too.

Here's an idea, if you UK ISPs can't afford to provide service and still make a profit, why don't you get out of the business? Somebody else will pick up the slack.
