> its time. Wish all my users were 64k ISDN!
ARE YOU INSANE??? I wish all my users were 2400 baud, then I could get
643 of them on one T1 and guarantee full bandwidth to them... Are we
the only ISP out there who worries about users actually having the full
bandwidth of their connection available to them? 46 users all
downloading at 33600 will completely saturate a T1, 24 ISDN users will
kill it. Although what are the odds all 46 will be using all of their
bandwidth all of time? But God, imagine what's going to happen when
ASDL, HSDL and the like hit prime time... hehe, it'll be just like in
high school when we flushed all the toilets at the same time and brought
the plumbing to its knees. The user end bandwidth explosion better be
followed in short order by mass deployment of some bigger, cheaper pipes
for ISP's and backbone providers.
Question: How can end user bandwidth double without either prices
rising or performance suffering? No users I talk to seem to understand
that... But, none of them would ever expect their Honda Civics to run
as fast as a Dodge Viper yet still cost the same. Oh well, I'm probably
just being paranoid given that we're still paying off our existing
PM-3's :)
