Ashburn, VA | Besides, Spam costs the customer money and generates money for the ISP, whereas P2P costs the ISP money. These are prioritized accordingly. |

1 edit | The people that create and send the spam usually have a considerable amount of bandwidth themselves, despite the fact that they use nefarious methods. Unless things have changed, which is possible, these guys aren't running their operations from a Starbuck's. |

The people that File Share usually have a considerable amount of bandwidth themselves, despite the fact that they use BT/Usenet/Direct Download. Unless things have changed, which is possible, these guys aren't running their operations from a Starbuck's.
Sorry jmn... I had to point that out. 
EDIT: It has been said, many times by many people, The only reason for faster connections is for filesharing or "stealing".
Well, I have 16mbps x 2mbps.
But, seeing as I barely hit 35GB per month combined directions... something just doesn't add up, does it?

Gaithersburg, MD | I think that should be part of the MP/RIAA's New Quality campaign: "No Shit!" When you see those words on an **AA release it's guaranteed to be good or double your bandwidth back! Ah well, I can dream...*grin* |

Spam doesnt gobble up bandwidth, but it does eat up other network resources such as storage. it also consumes dollars in the form of calls to tech support when the customer complains about spam or is using outlook express and gets a virus from said spam.
on corporate systems spam consumes drive space on the mail servers. overall the damage from spam is far more then P2P of music and movies.

| You left out the part about "the last mile" to the customer. Try again to make your invalid point.
