Re: Throttling Actually, DSL can be saturated as well. Crappy copper lines don't help either. If the DSLAM has too many customers that overload the CO, it has congestion. Why do you think T lowered it's speed advertising? Because of that. T has a backbone advantage but as cable cos roll out D 3.0, they won't. Cable Cos also have to stop saturating nodes if they hope to make their phone service work flawlessly as well.
The simple solution: Fiber. Fiber is an unlimited pipe. In Japan, there is a building that uses the power of the sun to light the whole building.
Plus, I see a revolution in HSI anyway. Simply put, ISPs, to meet bizness requirements, will have to juice their backbones anyway. BUT, if Big Business decides on their own network as they are considering, that would scare the incumbents. Competition will come from somewhere to lower costs and whomever provides it will reap the revolution in HSI.
