Re: What time frame? I was refering to this comment here:
"Now on top of that, add what was hinted at above about multiple users in one home. A lot of homes now have a computer for every member. Mom, Dad, Brother, and Sister all online a one time can bring your "average" 16Mbps connection to its knees pretty quick."
I don't know about you, but I used to have 4 people connected to a 3 meg down/ 384 kilobit up connection, and I was able to play online games like cz and cod4 with 70-80 ping while the rest of the family downloaded files or surfed the web.
EDIT: I have QoS enabled on my router, and throttle my own bandwidth so one app doesnt choke it out of sight.

QOS just puts who goes first and how much. Again how does that help with bandwidth? Try running 4 HD streams on your 3 meg connection, it will be unwatchable. |

As for that, I have no answer my friend.

If you go back to your first post on this thread, that is why QOS does not make any difference and why 1Gbps (or a huge move in that direction) is usable. |

I don't see why any household would need that kind of bandwidth. I could see 20/20 or 30/15 or even 30/30, but if you use more than the average home, then it might be best if you move up to the business account.
I'm with you on this, but at the same time the world isn't perfect. ISPs want to be the gatekeepers, plain and simple, and if you want unfettered access to the internet, either you protest until you're blue in the face, build your own network (hardly possible), or pay more (which is probably what you will end up doing, sadly).

kudos:5 | said by The Limit:I don't see why any household would need that kind of bandwidth. Why would anyone need a processor faster than 4.77 MHz?
Why would anyone need more than 594 KB of memory?
Then we got faster processors, and more memory -- and the applications that used them.

True -- or support all three.
There is NOTHING wrong with higher fees -- as long as a market is a healthy market, the prices will stay in line. But with these monopolies, we're simply at the mercy of a few despots or we do without.
