Re: Let's take an honest look at the numbers Funny thing about numbers. You can make them say what you want. For example.
If I have a water pipe delivering water to 100 homes and I say just 5 homes are using 30% of the water going through the pipe, well it sounds like those 5 houses are water hogs. However if you also knew that the amount of water going through the pipes is only 15% of what the pipes could actually handle then they aren't using that much after all are they?
All these ISPs have the attitude that because 50% of thier customers CHOOSE to underuse their connection that the rest of the people must be hogs. If 50% of the people choose to only eat 1000 calories a day it doesn't make me a "hog" if I'm eating 2000 calories a day. |
