Re: The End of the Internet?
said by Drex_CS  :they have fiber backbones, so fiber to the node, but not into the house from what I understand. Sounds to me like they don't even have a legitimate reason to steal their clients bandwidth. I can see how some of these cable giants that now *need* more bandwidth to sell phone services are making shady decisions with their clients paid for bandwidth. |

said by BIGMIKE :said by Drex_CS :how's that tin foil working out for you? Not so good can you recommend a good Tin-foil hat?:D the internet is becoming a replay of history during the late 1800's early 1900's now the new robber barons of today are the same hot air stock hype companies like Gooogle and the "reunited" phone companies that were once MA bell, of course let's not forget or greedy friend in the cable companies, that re-invented their own monpolistic ideas of "franchise" to price control what we all see.
all the authors of the p2p software dp is come up up with a random port scheme to get around this.
What pussles me in this commentary is the line that talks about of Rogers and Shaw "upgrading" their network. I was under the *gealous* impression for some time now that both of these Canadian Giants had *pure* fiber optics is this not true?
if it is true the why are they throtling speeds? i tought they had bragged about all the unlimited bandwidth they had, why not upgrade the hardware to the faster OC192, as I understand it, that is all that is basically needed to double or triple speeds, it's not like they would have to layout new fiberoptic cable all over again |
