Re: If it slowing why do we need caps?
Caps are put into place, to keep costs down on the network/plant side. It's also used to protect a company's revenue. I.E. Video On Demand, Movies Streams, Watching TV on your PC. That's why companies (Mainly MSOs) use this model, because they've decided no way in hell, you're going to view free stuff and use our bandwidth (that you've help fund).
It's sad in this day and age, we're using a 90's business model now of limiting what you can do with your connection. Least in Japan they cap your upload to 500gb or 1TB a month for their fiber to the home connections. But on the download side, go at it.
When we can start making this companies actually provide, instead of milking us and the gov't with handouts. We'll just be paying more for less.

1 edit | Do you mean less speed or more caps? and I know thats why they are doing it hulu and netflix are hurting their pocket book. What IS MSO?
"because they've decided no way in hell, you're going to view free stuff and use our bandwidth (that you've help fund)."
Yeah if they see even $0.001 of their money go away because of the IPTV they get ticked, but there not much we can do about that right now. Thats why I like DSLs like Embarq no caps, less speed, but after a certain speed I could care less.
Japan has it better they have 500gb-1tb caps and I think I read like 1gb internet.
Hopefuly in the NEAR future we can make the ISP say up fromt that have a cap, like on their main page. |

| MSO is a Multiple System Operator, which means. They operate their cable companies in many areas. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi_system_operator
There will never do less speed, because they're banking on customers will be attracted by the huge speed, but not tell you it's all dependent on your local area.
If the MSOs would just bring their speeds back down to where their local plants, network can handle.. We'll be alright.

said by me1212  :What IS MSO? MSO = Multi System Operator. It means Comcast is really a group of separate operating cable systems controlled under a corporate umbrella. That is why it often happens that there is not one list of stations carried by "Comcast". Each operating company actually makes decisions and contract deals separate from the corporate parent.

Thanks guys.
"If the MSOs would just bring their speeds back down to where their local plants, network can handle.. We'll be alright."
they won't do that for a while, then they would not be able to put caps on, if I understand what you are saying. But if thats what has to be done to remove the caps, or at least get them 500gb-1tb That would be ok. If I had CC or *insert cableco here* 500g would be enough for me to feel safe, 1t even better.. |
