said by ninjatutle :You cant do video conferencing now with your current bb connection? Or do you think you will magically earn more income with a faster connection to provide these setups for your family. I think that I can. I was doing it in 1995 both over dial-up and on direct modem-to-modem telephone connections. My friends were doing wireless SSTV at a rockin' 0.125 fps in 1981 (although I never got into that). Resolutions of 176 x 144 pixels and 352 x 288 pixel video were huge progress (think H323 and H324 protocols).
However, that's no comparison to three panels running 1366 x 768, one on each wall, bringing together distant grandparents, children, soldiers ... that would simply rock!
I'm so glad that you know what's best for everyone. Moore's Law is over. All the college kids can quit studying. Since everything that needs to be invented already has been, I'll just go home early for the weekend. Oh, wait -- I am home. I am WORKING from home. Gee, what enables me to do that?
Nice troll, though.

P2P seems to be the only thing that comes to your mind. You sound like a RIAA broken record...day after day. Is there an ignore feature on DSLR? |

People that want to do teleworking to save on gas and time (we have our entire salesforce working from home) can't afford the $4,000 for a DS3, only the $99 for the 15/2 business plan from TWC, which is the best we can get in our area.
You don't seem to have any clue about small business owners, freelance photographers, journalists, etc.... and just FAMILIES that use broadband. |

Look nonja, learn how to read and spell... it's dadkins.
I prefer full backups, incrementals have a higher fail rate, incase you didn't know - I think you just like to argue.
2 full images per month x 3 computers - let me add that up for you:
13GB(smallest image) x 3 computers = 39GB
39GB twice a month is 78GB.
Tell me, how fast do you think I would be able to upload those?
As it stands, I use snail-mail because of bandwidth restrictions. 
I use a whopping 30GB per month, even though I have a 16/2 connection.
Now, it sure would be nice to be able to just point n click to send the images, but lack of speed is a hell of a deterrent.
Answer my question pal, why do YOU need Uverse?
Speed = stealing... right?
Yeah.

That's one of the ways Mozy discourages abuse of the "unlimited" storage. The rest of your points are well taken, though. Point taken. But there are other services costing more money that allow you to store at much faster speeds.
I actually have my own domain and full hosting for $9.95, and I can send at 10 Mbps to and from that host, which I tested with my work line which is 15/15 right now (soon 45/45).
I could setup my own backup system utilizing FTP - and for the MOST important stuff I already have. I have 100 Gb of space on that host, which should cover my 60 Gb of important stuff just fine.
As of late, I have been scanning and fixing old photographs, to create a family tree database that is digitized. The need for more bandwidth is everywhere, and I simply don't get why there are people that actually question what we do with out bandwidth because we want some more of it.
I don't do piracy (or at least RARELY) and quite frankly, it is of no ones business what I do with my bandwidth, and those who think that more bandwidth can only be good for the illegal..... have absolutely no clue about the real world, and the future we are moving towards. |

said by stomp357 : All I hear from you is how anyone wanting more speed is stealing. You yourself are using a broadband service. Since all you must do on the internet is email, & websurf (everything else is criminal, or network abuse according to you), just get dialup, or the slowest tiered broadband. Then you would have enough bandwidth, and not be bothered by the bandwidth robbing users.  It's ok for him to have highspeed, because he's special!
Everyone else with highspeed is a theif and steals everything... PERIOD!

I'm definitely not against more bandwidth but NetFlix isn't a good example.
NetFlix downloads are heavily compressed. 600-700MB for a movie. That means even at 6mbit/sec you can download the movie faster than you can watch it in real-time.
Even AppleTV/Live quality HD (4GB) can be watched almost real time at 6mbit although realistically you will need some buffering to prevent hiccups.
But yes, i do agree that power users need more than 6mbit/sec. 10 or 15mbit/sec is probably a good middle-ground for non-FTTH services. Not quite as fast as we'd like but realistic given the last mile bandwidth bottle necks of a FTTN system. |

Minus the caps... i can watch 5 hd channels on 5 different sets with cable AND run P2P. with att i cant watch more than 2 hd channels. what a joke their system is. how long have u worked for att? |

That looks pretty good, especially for content that I don't really need to see in hi-res. So, for video conferencing that may be fine, but I sure wouldn't want that many compression artifacts on my HD video. Now, I don't use NetFlix or it's competitors, they may look just as bad - I'm too spoiled for ATSC and a pretty good signal from TimeWarner. I've seen UVerse HD at their stores and was not impressed with the HD quality there on sports.
I think people's points are that they do want to see speeds that allow IPTV to compete with the quality cable and satellite can give. |
