That would relegate your ISP to being a "dumb pipe", which is every major ISP's worst nightmare.

Be that as it may, all I want IS a dumb pipe. One that isn't going to cost me any extra money then what I pay monthly for said pipe.

But by and large, I would agree...I want my vendor (currently Time-Warner/Roadrunner) to get me to/from the rest of the vendors (Level3, AT&T, Verizon, BT, NTT, etc.), agnostic of everything (protocol, address, etc.) except for RFC1918 addresses (shouldn't allow them out or feed them to me) and DSCP (if I set the bit(s) for low delay (for VoIP for example), I want that respected,and have those packets prioritized).

It's NEVER been down, It's always consistent, and it always works...

no throttling, no "network management" no "value added services"

I'd rather pay more for a quality dumb pipe than for anything else...

I'll use the pipe as I see fit, that's what I pay for...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-All-I-want-for-xmas-25213619 Fri, 17 Dec 2010 09:11:15 EDT Re: All I want for xmas.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-All-I-want-for-xmas-25211413
In short: In their perfect world, either you let them snap the collar around your neck, or you do without the Internet and everything it offers. And with how interconnected everything is via the Internet these days, doing without is a rather extreme sacrifice.
