Re: Dumb... Pipe I totally agree with you. I can't understand why people at DSLR aren't screaming with years of pent-up rage over this.
They're acting like little lambs who are being lured into the wolf's den without realizing it.
Look people, any idea which violates the concept of Net Neutrality is A BAD IDEA.
Cable companies have NEVER, EVER justified their desire to 'manage' networks. They make billions and billions in profits every year, are essentially given monopoly positions by various state and local governments, and never reveal internal statistics.
All their SEC filings point to hugely profitable companies who are continually DECREASING the amount of money they invest into their networks. Why is it so hard for you to understand that?
Heavy users are merely the forerunners of the masses. They ride the wave of innovation, using new technologies that prop up creative and unique content companies. Their heavy usage forces ISPs to readjust their network forecasts and invest more into their networks.
Without heavy users ISPs would have no need to upgrade their networks, EVER.
Honestly, if people reading all the articles at DSLR and stopthecap are OK with being sliced and diced by ISPs, then I give up. |
