Re: hmmmmm The report includes various other interesting tidbits, including the claim that real world ISP broadband speeds are often 50 percent to 80 percent slower than advertised speeds. The agency also notes that 1% of all users drive 20% of traffic and 20% of all users drive 80% of traffic.
From the FCC: We're Halfway Done with with the NBP article today.
There are set costs for equipment in the last mile which need to be covered but the 20% crowd are the ones that are driving the costs up. As this article or one of the posters the equipment limited the usage now nics are so cheap and servers at content providers feed it at next to nothing. When you have flat rate billing people will waste it. Gas is not flat rate but when it was $2 and went to $4 a lot of people found they did not really need that big SUV to just commute to work.
I would benefit if they had a low usage rate. Heck I could have doubled my usage under the very low TWC 40 Gig cap and still have come under the cap. If the ISP don't feel they have the money to spend then don't look for upgrades in the under served areas.
This crowd wants to pick and chose but it needs to be looked at as a whole. One size does not work. |
