| My solution is
When a customer is put on the network give them two choices...
1.) You can go on with the normal users and agree to have your p2p traffic managed by Sandvine or...
2.) You can go on a "special port" on the CMTS with all the other p2p users in the area and you will be given the email addresses of all the other people on that port and you can figure out how best to share the bandwidth amongst yourselves.
I don't think QoS is all that effective in the Cable world because QoS has to be done at ingress and that is your cable modem and I don't believe they are that intelligent. You can deploy QoS at the CMTS but if you are on the same port with a more than a few p2p users, it is going to suck to be you. |

| What about stuff other than p2p traffic that they shape? I remember it being mentioned that it affects newsgoups and VOIP as well.
If they offer services like cable and phone and they shape streaming media and VOIP on their network it will hurt the competition only, because their traditional services won't be affected. That's why what they are doing should net be allowed. |
