Re: Chokepoint is always the local infrastructure ...
said by jsmaster  :So you're saying that DSL is a sharing line like cable? If so, you're on a wrong path because customers with DSL services have a dedicated line. If your DSL providers sets you for example for a profile of 5056/800, you'll have for all time a steady connection. Your line profile will be in most of the case a little less ( speedtest 5056/800 is about in reality 46xx/6xx ) This is normal because profiles are calculated on an optimal state and it's impossible to have a clean line. Perfection does not exist sadly. Yeah, you may have a dedicated line with DSL, and yeah, you may even sync at your correct rate, but that still doesn't mean the bottleneck in the CO doesn't exist. So instead of at the node on a cable connection, it's further up the line with DSL. No matter what type of network you are on, there is the potential for a bottleneck anywhere users come together. Whether it's overloaded routers or too little bandwidth at the node/CO, the potential is there. |
