Re: Net Neutrality has been and will be good for the 'Net!

Please give me this magical formula that computes my ISP's wholesale cost from my measured cost?

Your logic is astounding.

I will give you a clue - data rate and volume are connected. I can only measure my total volume, versus my cost since I don't have insider knowledge of my ISP.

By the way, most larger companies do not publish what there bandwidth costs actually are, mainly because many have their own backbone and have for the most part secretive agreements between other backbone providers about transit agreements.

And also to clarify most private companies who do not trade traffic, like you SuperWISP would almost certainly have one of two choices burst-able bandwidth sold at a percentile, or a dedicated line (usually more expensive). From the quality of your posts I doubt you understand the difference.

still waiting for an example how consumers will be hurt by an open and free internet

Good point riker. How could you possible know your ISP's aggregate data rate? Looks like someone needed a quick math lesson. Thats sad

And I'll give you a clue: this is only true if the connection is saturated.

Which is exactly the point. You're lashing out, blindly, without having any knowledge of how an ISP works or what its cost structure is like.

Oh, and by the way: no ISP is seeking to prevent the Internet from being "open." However, they certainly will never make it "free" in the sense that you would like. (You seem to confuse "free speech" with "free beer." Sorry, but bandwidth isn't free.)

Ok, a quick math lesson indeed Random_Nut. I'm really going to have to dumb this down a bit.

When adults talk hypothetically we usually assume maximum utilization, the so called theoretical capacity.

How could one ever possible know exact pattern of usage? And better yet, WHY would anyone ever use that?

I think its safe to assume saturated (unless you would like me to pick a useless random number?) - YIKES !

Please go familiarize yourself with a basic science book.
