Re: The Way the Internet Should Be
Well just how uch would you be willing to pay for unlimited bandwidth usage?
I own a small cable system and prvide cable modem service to about 1000 homes. When I see any of my customers allowing their comp to be an uplaod server I just shut thier modem OFF. When they call in I tell them if they continue to do they can go somewhere else for hi-speed service.
Like the big boys, It's my network, I pay for the bandwidth, I am responsible to make sure everyone gets the service they subscribe to, not just a few folks who like to steal music and video. Ultimatley, BIT TORRENT and other p2p services should pay me to allow thier my customers to turn their computers into a server. I'll have more to say later. |

1 edit | I hope you have that stated in your TOS, otherwise any user you disconnected could sue you.
EDIT- Also, bittorrent is a PROTOCOL, do you think whoever invented TCP/IP should pay you because of all of the massive amounts of TCP traffic over your network? |

| Well have to remember here that this is BBR. That poster is only claiming they own a cable network. Which I find a really odd thing to claim with a user name that starts with FTTH lol.
But hey, I guess coming here with no credentials I can say that I own Comcast and Verizon. I just put em against each other just to see what fun turns up.  |

I am going to build out the rest of my cable plant with FTTH, because it's clearly the best solution for bandwidth delivery to the home. I will still own the netowrk and manage it the way I see fit. |

You should get out of the business. Customers should be allowed to run servers, it is what empowers the internet. It may be your network, and you may be paying for bandwidth, but customers are paying you for service, which you seem to want to not have to provide.

Like I said, just do your customers a favor, loosen up or go out of business. |
