Re: Sandvine's MSO Case Study-Reasonable Network Management? said by telcolackey5:said by funchords:According to ANYBODY ASKED AT COMCAST, using P2P on their network is NOT PROHIBITED. "Using" is a key word in this. Using the web is different than serving web content. Downloading songs from ITUNES is different than serving mp3's to the Internet. Using p2p to download a linux distro is different than serving a linux distro to the entire world. NOTE: These comments/opinions are my own and not an attempt to state anyone's policy. Uhm... when was the last time *ANYONE* uploaded the entire file of anything to "the entire world"?
When using a P2P app like BT, a ratio of 1:1 is fair.
That means, if *I* download 700MB, that I should upload 700MB back into the swarm.
Odds are very low that all 700MB of that file will be going to a single peer, right?
Me having any file available to millions of other people does NOT mean that I will be uploading that WHOLE file to millions of people.
My upload bandwidth is severely restricted.
For me to upload... 700MB to 100? people would take a couple of days of constant, full speed upload, killing off any possibility of me using my connection for anything else.
That would also push me into God Status in the Ratio dept.!
Even if Sandvine was non-existent, aint happening!
I have had several files available for ANYONE on the planet to get from me for years.
Care to guess how many people have even requested a part of one of these files?
In all honesty, I haven't even uploaded enough parts of many of these files to be combined into a whole item.

Death Valley, CA | Fair to content providers? You bet. Broadband users offering filesharing for them removes their BW costs and pushes it to broadband ISPs.
Fair to users? Yes. We get cheaper (or free) content because the Content providers cost is less.
Fair to ISPs? Who cares. They are greedy, money grubbing slime. |

What exactly am I paying Comcast for?
The connection is paid for whether I use it or not, right?
Me? Use a small, insignificant, part of what I am paying for? 
Bad, Bad, David!!!
