Re: Chokepoint is always the local infrastructure ...

This isnt a consumer line that is "Up to" with a 10:1 ratio of user to bandwidth oversell.

ISP's purchase bandwidth PERIOD. If they straight up purchase an OC3, then they are purchasing 100% of that bandwidth to use 100% of the time as they see fit. Whether they choose to sell all of it to 1 customer or oversell it 100:1, that is their choice and the local monopoly has no right messing with it. Even if the ISP purchases dynamic bandwidth the above still applies.

This is an outright anticompetitive move from a monopoly that should be dealt with accordingly.
