ekster Hi there. join:2010-07-16 Lachine, QC kudos:1 Reviews: ·FreePhoneLine ·TekSavvy DSL	reply to mazhurg Re: The end of ####? They'll move from #### to a lot, a little, high, low, very high, very little? "Transit costs are very high, profit is very low. Shareholder payout is almost nothing. Upkeep expenses are even higher than very high. Markup can be low, but our costs are very high, so final tariffs should be even higher than very high. In summary, we need a lot more. "

Gone Premium join:2011-01-24 Fort Erie, ON kudos:3 Reviews: ·Start Communicat..	Yeah, but even if they cook the numbers there are enough people out there who would be able to put two and two together and see through the bullshit. That, and cooking the numbers too badly could have a negative impact on share or put them into a bad competitive situation with other incumbents. Considering that we now seem to be in an era where the CRTC has no issue laying an incumbent over their knee and providing them with a hard spanking, it's likely that if the numbers are cooked and don't pass the sniff test, the CRTC would be quick to call them on it, too.

Any company issuing securities in the US has to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. They HAVE to disclose lots of stuff truthfully & accurately, else their Dear Leader will have to watch out that he doesn't drop a bar of soap in the prison shower. I wonder how he'd Cope. The information they have to file in the US in a prospectus or annual filings won't be Level II costing but there's a lot of stuff which can be used to figure things out. Ditto for analyst conference calls (also required to be truthful and reasonably accurate).

Another movie with tons of a great lines is Fight club. some that can't really be repeated here hehe. I also re-watched it recently, it's a favourite. Well, I've liked most of the Luc Besson movies that I've seen, for that matter. Randomly changing the subject, whatever happened to netflix caching? They don't peer at TorIX, so you can't get in on that, but are you big enough to justify getting one of their hardware appliances? -- Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org

TSI Marc Premium,VIP join:2006-06-23 Chatham, ON kudos:14	Yeah Besson has good movies. I was watching Arthur series not long ago. Pretty good, was surprised they didn't do better. Netflix caching.. Yeah for sure. I'll get details of where that's at. -- Marc - CEO/TekSavvy

An ISP the size of TSI would have no problem meeting the requirements stated by Netflix but that still doesn't guarantee they'll receive the appliance just as meeting peering requirements doesn't guarantee a network will peer with you. I have a hard time believing TSI isn't receiving in excess of 10Gb of traffic from Netflix's CDN partners at the moment.

brad join:2007-09-06 Etobicoke, ON	The setup is N+1 so it depends on how big the ISP is.. I'll assume 2 since that's the smallest installation.
