Also if such a Hardware exists couldn't there also have been a Hardware introduced that rather prefers local traffic over ones that go over IP Transit Backbones ... effectively keeping traffic internal and reducing costs, or BT Cache's, there are options that are more productive then the iron fist approach. |

While that may be so, any company that willingly invents, builds and distributes hardware that purposefully interferes with (my) internet traffic and does so in a manner which certainly raises privacy concerns doesn't deserve the light of day.
As you said: why did they not invent machines to make everything better and faster? Why on Earth did Bell invest in this piece of hardware instead of hardware that will increase their network's efficiency? |

Because they don't want telephony and TV to be widly offered over the Internet. Those are MASSIVE portions of their revenues. The dumbv pipe provider prospect won't enchant shareholders. |

The dumbv pipe provider prospect won't enchant shareholders. I don't care what their shareholders want in order to fill their already-loaded pockets. This is about what WE want. For years we have been spoon-fed whatever the industry wanted us to see, hear and read. Now that they are losing this control, they want to retain it by hook or by crook but at the end of the day, they will lose this battle. It's time shareholders start to give back what they have taken from us for so long.
If I have to pay more to get an unthrottled connection, I will pay more, but at the moment that option does not exist and I doubt it ever will.
I stand by my opinion: that ellacoya needs to go titsup. |

Traffic shaping would be a good thing if the goal in its application was to prioritize traffic while keeping the pipe full. Many people do this manually on their own home connections with QoS settings. A typical setting would be to prioritize VoIP and deprioritize P2P. This doesn't restrict the use of available bandwidth but just makes sure that time sensitive data gets ahead in the queue while bulk transfers still get through. |
