What about the "hogs" in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19931763 en Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:26:39 EDT Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:26:39 EDT Re: What about the "hogs" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19933897 RadioDoc : High speed Internet via DOCSIS is carried via RF channels just like any TV channel is. This, though, is not an Internet service. I seriously doubt Cox would be throttling a cable VoD channel they provide and charge for, should they choose to offer a similar product.

This Cablevision story is about a service they are putting on their own systems, not something they are offering to the world via Internet.

For some reason you don't seem to be able to separate captive video services from Internet data.

This has nothing to do with Internet use. It's Video on Demand...you know, regular cable stuff.
Ever wonder how bandwidth is actually distinguised by providers with both BB and cable services from the same provider? Dunno bout your personal situation, but Cox in this county plays fast/loose with bandwidth and doesn't really distinguish cable v BB. Bandwidth is bandwidth.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19933815 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:12:04 EDT Re: What about the "hogs" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19932700 RadioDoc : This has nothing to do with Internet use.

Re-read the article.
Not all ISPs are capping bandwidth. Notice the gist of the article is being propounded by Comcrap, not TWC, the nost notable implementing the above-referenced caps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19932612 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:18:57 EDT Re: What about the "hogs" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19932236 RadioDoc :

This business model will be killed in the cradle by providers forcing bandwidth caps.
Re-read the article. The bandwidth providers are the ones fluffing this idea. It runs over digital cable, not your Internet connection, and reveals the real reason they are so hot to cap "excessive downloaders"...the competition from much cheaper and much better services like Amazon and Netflix.
