Re: Whats the point

Personally, I say whats the point of people replying to stuff like this like you did? The whole point of the backbone network is to make the network more stable and handle more load, not give customers higher speeds...

Re: Whats the point

The point is that what is the point of the EXTRA load that the is suppose to be, if we at the end of the backbone never see it. If we never see the EXTRA stability and still have our service go out every time the wind blows. What is the point of all this extra capacity if we never get the bandwidth we pay for, as I am in my case. I don't use P2P or any file sharing of any kind, and can never reach the speeds I am paying for.

If you cannot take the negative and view point along with the positive ones, then what is the point of YOU being here and reading these responses.

The point is that this bandwidth quite literally translates into things that people "see". All of that On-Demand content doesn't magically fall out of the sky -- they use the majority share of their backbone bandwidth for video distribution.

There is a lot more stuff going down the comcast backbone then internet... they send digital channels across the country on it including vod content to its distribution servers

Did you ever think this might be one of the reasons why Comcast is increasing bandwidth?
