This just goes to prove that their network is over-sold...So me an residental ISP who's network isn't over-sold and I'll show you an ISP that will soon be going out of business. All ISPs over-sell their network. It's when they don't manage the over-selling and it becomes too over-sold that it becomes a problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-goes-to-prove-20000453 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:43:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Just-goes-to-prove-19999213
Except this time the equipment is network traffic which competes with Comcast's lucrative add-on program services like video on demand. It is only a matter of time before "reasonable network management" includes throttling outside video streaming to some absurdly low bitrate.

BitTorrent is today's sparkly thing they're using to distract from where the real discussion should be occurring.

But they're screwing up. Only a matter of time before they are sued and pave the way for cable companies to become regulated the bells. About time too.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Just-goes-to-prove-19996392 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:52:37 EDT
