dlewis23 Posted June 26, 2008 CID Share Posted June 26, 2008 These people have made a few videos. and what they were talking about will never happen. They made one saying the internet will work like your cable, or sat. where you get access to a limited # of websites, if you want more you pay more. Its total BS, and this video is total BS. Website operators will just say fuck you to ISP's that do that. And they will block all traffic to and from that ISP. Its all big ISP's that will say anything to get some press. In the real world it will never work. Comcast tried this with bittorrent and it didn't last very long. If a major ISP started throttling website, they would loose a ton of there subscribers. They are trying to double dip. They say "wait your getting a free ride on our connections" to webmasters, but thats not true, web masters actually pay for bandwidth. even when most ISP's don't even pay for bandwidth.

They would lose customers left and right, it would be a nightmare for them. They would try no doubt, but it would be a bust.. Not to mention the amount of work they would have to do to implement something like this... just for it to fail .. doesn't seem to feasible to me.

ninjageek Posted June 27, 2008 CID Share Posted June 27, 2008 Internet providers are forsure starting to sweat. With more and more getting broadband, Thoes speeds getting faster and faster, The backbone can only cary and handle so much. When The whole net thing started comming together they never dreamed of the current speeds. Now if we can just get SHUG to stop downloading porn there may not be a urgent need to fix the issue, Until then, they will forsure have to get something done.

Yeah, they may just end up making a bigger backbone. As to shug just stand in line, no one has been able to stop him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
