| isn't tiered speeds enough?
I don't understand why this is even an issue for the ISP's, because as it is, we're not using the full speed potential of our modems, so what's the worry? If we purchase a 10/1 tier, or a 5/384 tier, or even a 15/2 tier, we're already being limited by our level of service we pay for, so shouldn't that be enough? If ISP's no longer want to provide speed upgrades, which they use to not mind doing, then hell open the line wide up, and let us experience the full potential of our cable/DSL lines when not congested, and throttle back when we truly are. If they're obsessed with throttling even with speed limits already set, it makes no sense! If you get a T1 line, you know you're going to get 1.5/1.5Mbit/sec, so if you're getting a specific speed tier, that's what you should get, regardless of what protocol you may be using! If ISP's must throttle, they better tel you to what speeds, and for how long, but like I said, we're already throttled in a sense based on what package we get, so why can't that be enough? |
