Re: How about enforcing it like the "fleet average" I have 5Mbps cable service and until I tweaked my tcp receive window, I could only benchmark tests at 4.000Mbps. After tweaking my receive window, the speed went up to 4.9Mbps.
I would bet that most customers who have speed beyond 3.0Mbps need to be tweaked before they will get the full benefit of their potential bandwidth.
In my opinion, damn the tests. Damn the regulation. Damn the easy contract out.
What's the best way to improve a company's product?
COMPETITION
The only way we're all going to be happy is if we have choices. Only choice provides a universal motivation for companies to treat customers with respect and provide the best possible product while still making investors happy with a modest profit. Right now most of us don't have a choice. Only the precious few have multiple HSI and video choices. The government should be working with incentives and regulation to foster competition. Oh, and one more thing, we should STOP funding the GD telcos and wireless companies with the USF and make them plow their own fields. If it isn't profitable to be in some rural, swamp town, let the local residents build a muni project or, if they prefer to be like Green Acres where they have to climb a pole for voice, so be it. |
