The Philadelphia-based company agreed last Thursday to collaborate with BitTorrent Inc. and develop a better system for managing congestion. Comcast has said it must clamp down on heavy users of Internet bandwidth so others won't be slowed down.

Until the new traffic-management system is fully tested and deployed, expected by year's end, Douglas said the faster Comcast service would still be subject to hampering.

"Just because we increase all the roads in Philadelphia to eight-lane highways doesn't mean we can take out all the traffic lights," Douglas said. "It's going to take a little bit of time to get this new system in place."


To which I just have one thing to say:

Philadelphia's highways have traffic lights?

:huh:

The rest will be for the bandwidth you used and some profit for them too.

It costs money to offer customers such massive pipes, I not surprised by the prices they offered. I would prefer a 10/10 over a 50/5 though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20273373 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:25:47 EDT Re: but http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272882 anon : Maybe you should wait and see, I think people will be pleasantly surprised in terms of p2p applications in MN.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272882 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 21:11:13 EDT Re: but http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272428 Dogfather : The new items mentioned they are upgrading the infrastructure, implementing portions of pre-cert DOCSIS 3. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272428 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:48:32 EDT Re: but http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272365 Dogfather : With full DOCSIS 3 (which this isn't) they may not have to. The supposed reasoning behind BT throttling is seeders saturating the upstream channels and this new development doesn't fix that. DOCSIS 3 would take a lot of that pressure off. Maybe that is why the price point is so high. They could handle the very few who would buy it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272365 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:40:35 EDT Re: but http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272221 pokesph :

Yup great speed but with their invisible cap & BitTorrent throttling I am sure they will be canceling peoples service due to over using and taking advantage of the new speeds.
Ditto

What's the point if the inferstructure can't handle it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272221 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:13:13 EDT but http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272168 Leinie : Yup great speed but with their invisible cap & BitTorrent throttling I am sure they will be canceling peoples service due to over using and taking advantage of the new speeds.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20272168 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:03:15 EDT
