Re: I Call Bull$#!+
Besides thinking it’s a dumb idea I see several things wrong with this two tier crap.
First these broadband providers want yahoo, Google and the like to pay for qos, why? Most of the traffic going over their networks is not traffic to and from Google or yahoo. It is p2p. Sure I might search Google 10 times today, but how much traffic does that involve, 150k? How much bandwidth is the latest screener divx taking up? This first argument doesn’t make sense.
Second, why would anyone think that even with a high qos tier that the service would be any different? We are talking residential customers here. They would actually have SLA’s with residential customers? I don’t think so. The same TOS will be used stating they will try there best, but won’t guarantee a thing. I thought this was part of what the difference between business and residential was anyway.
Third, how would they accomplish this two tier? What technology would they use to make sure top tier is faster than bottom? Packet shaping? If bandwidth is such an issue they should be packet shaping now. Shape the p2p to have lowest priority, seems like it would work to me.
