<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/539077"><b>sbrook</b></A> : Even living in the sticks at the end of a flaky cable run, I cannot complain about the quality of my service per se.  I have lots of complaints about Rogers business ethics mind you!  Like stacking price increase on price increase in short order.<br><br>Congestion is a potential problem on a service that you must oversell.  Outages happen and there isn't a thing you can do about them.  Like the guy that drove off the road and plowed into a pole bringing down the fibre cable and destroying the repeater.  Yes, there are ways to help reduce these things, but introducing redundancy costs big money.<br><br>When I moved to Canada from the UK, I was astounded that our power system was controlled using a single computer SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.  I had previously been working on systems where 2 computers working in a hot-standby configuration was the norm, and in some places 3 computers ... live, hot standby and cold standby was not uncommon!  But that's how things are done here.<br><br>Sure you've got a right to complain ... can't deny you that, but for what you pay per month you're getting a service which is not capable of providing a service that you can totally rely on with minimal downtime, particularly if you lose cash every time it goes down.  It's like buying an old clunker car to use as a taxi (although some taxis are not a lot better than clunkers!)  If the engine dies, that's it, game over.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/539077"><b>sbrook</b></A> : Do you have any idea what the cost of such a service would be?  For a business level service with uptime guarantees you pay big money.  A T1 service which is only 1.5Mbps bidirectional will set you back between 500 and 1000 per month.  It will give you an uptime guarantee and a service response window.<br><br>Residential service is an oversold service by definition.  There are no performance guarantees.  There are no service response guarantees.  That's the ONLY way they can make money on a $50 per month service.]]></description>

If you have the attention span of a gnat and can't grab a book for 20min to read then find something to relax with.
