Re: Wow.

Boy, what have you got against Comcast? I sincerely doubt they would ever do this to anything but p2p traffic, which if you believe the numbers, could alleviate some 70~80% of the network load. IMHO that would be a good thing.
Or would you rather have AT&T's filtered content approach?
are you serious? filtering is wrong, because isp's should protect the privacy of its users and not give in to the mpaa/riaa.
throttling is wrong because these companies offer bandwidth and a certain speed promised to you, if you are going to use this bandwidth you should be allowed to, and if comcast and bell cannot provide this bandwidth the answer is not to eliminate its users speed thus eliminating bandwidth the answer is to add MORE BANDWIDTH (what the hell am i paying bell $20 a month for if i already pay dry loop fees for the copper?), this is the proper network management. Companies can save money by using p2p because it doesn't use their bandwidth(ex WOW updates, linux iso's) there are legitimate uses for every protocol and it is unfair to single out any and throttle a user for bandwidth they pay for!! |
