Camden, TN | Not very logical UPC claims that the system, which will run from noon to midnight and will cut users' bandwidth by two thirds when accessing bandwidth-intensive services, will enable it to solve network problems and provide customers with faster access...."
I'm not sure how SLOWING down one's connection gives them FASTER access. I guess the whole point is to make sure those not on bandwidth intensive sites get faster speed, BUT if you're on a site that's strictly HTML and doesn't use any bandwidth intensive application then you don't need fast speed. Fact is 512 kbps is more than fast enough for a strictly HTML only page. |

Call me crazy.... but I would think that when you are on those bandwidth-intensive services is the EXACT time you actually need that bandwidth.
Without it, they are pretty much killing the use of those services and thus dictating what can and can't be on the Internet for the Dutch citizens. But only during those given times of course. |
