Re: I agree for the most part...
You should note that R0CKY isn't an end-user. He owns the ISP with 40,000 customers that he mentions. He buys 7 gigabits of connectivity from Bell to aggregate DSL subscribers. Bell is throttling individual DSL customers despite the fact that R0CKY's 7 gigabits of connectivity isn't saturated.
If R0CKY's customers use more bandwidth, R0CKY has to buy more GigE connections from Bell. So all arguments for throttling just fall out the window!
R0CKY's ISP has standard 200GB caps on regular accounts, with their "Unlimited" tier intended for users who use 300GB+ of bandwidth. Why shouldn't somebody think 300-500GB is OK when that's what their ISP is selling them? |
