Re: ISPs would carry costs and won't be happy

Do we have to go over this again and again. The ISPs oversubscribe number of customers. They CAN'T provide max bandwidth to all their customers 24x7, especially on uploads.

You didn't buy 24x7 access to max bandwidth no matter what you claim. That is NOT in the TOS.

If the content providers win the LEGAL right to force ISPs to provide max bandwidth 24x7, then the PRICE will skyrocket. And that is a FACT.

So you can make all the claims you want and throw copies of checks to the ISP up here in the thread. But it won't change reality. If the P2P model prevails, prices will rise and will rise drastically.

SO if you get what you claim is your due, then get out the checkbook and start writing bigger and bigger checks.
Nowhere did I ever claim to have the right to full-on speed 24/7.
Whereas you seem to think that is what is needed for BT to work. Wrong!
At NO TIME have I ever maxed out my upload when using BT.
There is no need to - that's how the swarm works!

I supply x amount, as does many others - nets the downloader serious speed on the download.

Right now, if I were to go for... whatever, I would get small parts, and sometimes SLOW speed for those parts for the file I have requested.
But, since I am getting MANY parts from MANY people, the download happens rather fast.
This is how it works.
One doesn't have to max out ones connection 24/7 to help out, not to mention, there is the whole throttling ability in most BT clients(but it's never needed or used here).

Hope this clears up some of the confusion for you!
