| This is not new technology. It was originally implemented by Motorola (General Instruments, actually before they were acquired by Motorola) in their Cybersurfr line of modems and CMTS, pre-DOCSIS.
Imagine a bucket. It holds your bandwidth allocation, measured in bits. There is a steady stream of bits going into the bucket at whatever your assigned speed is. The bits either flow out as you use them or overflow and are lost. How big is the bucket? RR doesn't say, but if you can download at 30 mbits on a 15mbit connection for f seconds, it must hold some thing like 60 mbits. The calculation: 4 secs x 30mbits - 4 secs x 15 mbits. In other words, in the first four seconds you used up the 60 mbits in the bucker plus the 60 mbits that you receive as an aadditional allocation in those same 4 seconds.
If you are frugal, the bucket is slower to empty. | |

EXPLAIN He may not have another viable option (I don't) where he lives. As for his complaints about Powerboost, I don't get it at all. However long it lasts, its an improvement at no extra charge. I'll take all of those I can get. | |

If it's warm, they complain about the bugs(if there are any or not), the humidity(high OR low), or something else.
If it's cold, they complain.
He(assuming here) would find something to complain about with RR even if he got 1000MB, a latency to Sidney(that's in Australia)in the 10ms range, no Caps, and the cost was $20/mo.

from 76 to 98 the ping time WENT higher 10ms to 20ms higher
even the legacy ip's get BETTER routeing
