Re: Statistics are fun

Irrelevant. Persons who live in residential areas, although they may choose a business class account, will to still be subject to the 250GB cap, as well as traffic shaping. Considering this makes up roughly 35% of America, the point is irrelevant.

Irrelevant is the cap itself since 99% of users won't ever hit it.

It's the equivalent of putting a speed limiter on a car set to 120 mph. How many are actually going to hit it?

Caps don't manage congestion during peak hours. The "heavy users" aren't affecting anyone if they're downloading during non-peak hours. And even the light users are slowing everyone down by checking their mail or listening to music during peak hours.

Caps are nonsensical and anti-competitive and there is absolutely no evidence that indicates they do anything to help manage network traffic.

Caps are just to give a limit for abusers. The Congestion Management is to manage congestion during peak hours.
