The minus side is that it takes people to maintain them therefore a fine tolerance is between intial and maintainance costs compared with bandwidth savings.
If you have minimal maintainance it saves money but more proxies and cost of maintainance negates savings

Th'Eng when you have facts not your highly polarised opinion please come back to this, see the above, US cablecos are using combinations of caching, traffic shaping, and both soft and hard transfer caps to supply their higher data rates, and even then some users are reporting slow transfer rates and bad latency.
So... ntl are being left behind by ADSL for not doing 2Mbit, but aren't allowed to use caching, give any visible contention, traffic shape and certainly not transfer cap.
Presumably Th'eng the same source that gave you the churn rates has detailed analysis of the cost / profit the proxies run at. Though if we're running them to wring extra profit out of the helpless consumer, but you seem to know that they don't do that and actually cost maybe we should change. In fact you seem to know the company better than our entire management, engineering teams and board. Mystic Th'Eng?
