said by Matt:said by Cabal:Current speeds ARE more than adequate for the vast majority of users. Remember, hobbyists reading BBR are far from a majority of users, or even common at that. We are a very small, overly vocal, minority.
I get complaints all the time from people who hate how long it takes to send pictures via email. They don't know WHY it's taking so long and once I explain that it's because Time Warner cable or AT&T don't give them much in the way of upstream speeds, they understand ... and usually aren't very happy. The majority of people just accept it as "How things are". They don't understand that it doesn't HAVE to be that way.
My GF thought her 5Mbps/384Kbps Road Runner was just fine until she moved in with me and saw how much faster and easier it was to do things with 2Mbps upstream.
I agree with this statement... I have 10/1 right now but I would be happy with like 3/3 or something like that... Wouldn't it be cheaper for the companies to balance the tiers and lower the total bandwidth, wouldn't that end up being less strain on the network...
