Re: Different numbers here. Well, since many ISP's integrate a router with the modem now, that probably won't be an issue. Also, considering on most days you can get a router for free (after rebates) I don't think someone spending $50-$100's on their service is going to blink at it.
The only reason any level of bandwidth above that which is current available is not used yet, is obvious. Just re-read that argument. "No one uses X-Level of bandwidth (which is greater than what is currently available) now, so they won't in the future." It's some of the most rediculous logic I've seen outside the political arena. |

| I have 10/1 right now. I can only see 10 down from a very local server. Anything beyond "local" and I might as well have the 3Mbps package, at best.
How is offering 100Mbps to a customer going to change any of that? Wait...faster?
We seem to be forgetting that the other side needs to be able to serve at this speed for us to see this speed. If we all have OC-3 lines but the servers only put out at T1 levels, then we are arguing about whether we should get 100Mbps for nothing.

North Andover, MA | If we ALL have OC-3 lines, then it stands to reason the servers (being inclusive in "ALL") have them as well. It's the same argument.. |
