Re: Bandwidth costs money. (Duh!)

What you are really saying is that nothing should be able to get in the way of an ISP over selling connections to their obviously limited bandwidth.

Thanks, got it.

Just because you can't connect all of the people at the same time at full speed doesn't mean you're overselling it. If it did you would have to say we oversell are: roads, electrical grid, phone system and water system. All of these are based on average maximum usage models.

It is true that a lot of ISPs do oversell their connections (according to the average maximum usage), but this isn't universally true and bandwidth management is still important even without overselling to ensure that the entire system operates efficiently just like how we have traffic laws to ensure that our roads work correctly.
