Re: What I submitted I'm fully aware of these concerns (and have them myself) however again, if the tiers are made too stringent the ISP industry will simply call their high-speed product something else, implementing whatever speeds and caps they want. Sad to say, but if the ISP community (big dobs) decide they want to call HSI "Ultra Speed Interwebz" they could put enough ads on the air to make that the nomenclature.
Though on the other hand I absolutely agree that caps are a dumb way to handle capacity problems. That's what protocol-specific, vendor-agnostic traffic shaping is for. Yes, I said protocol-specific; streaming of any kind (XoIP, streaming audio/video, gaming) and web-browsing-like activities should be prioritized over large downloads if one or the other has to be pushed over the pipe. |
