Not even half or a quarter of the bandwidth. Kind of like the telephone network, if we all try to call at one time it wont work.
So I think the real problem is how they have marketed to service. It may be always on and really fast but you can't think for a second that they have the backbone network to handle it. If you add up all the cable and DSL connections with the speeds they have, you would see that the backbone networks would have to be thousands of times faster to handle all the people on at one time with all the p2p and video streaming. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20355340 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:30:48 EDT
