How is that, one person can overuse a service, and degrade the service for everyone else, but him/herself?
For example, at the moment, with 6 people sharing a connection in the street/town, person A is getting full speed, and that is making persons B, C, D, E, F are getting the reduced speed. How comes person A gets priority over the other users? Is it because he is closer to the UBR for example? Surely if overuse is slowing people down, then, everyone who are downloading at the same time, would share the bandwidth equally amongst themselves, as everyone gets equal priority?
I know how it affects pings and latency, but people are also complaining about download speeds aren't they?
How does the bandwidth got distributed amongst users? I'm probably looking at it too simplistically/logically, but I have wondered.
Also: Everyone on the this thread is talking about the guys downloading 10g a day, but don't forget the first person to recieve the letter (Acathla) only fractured the limit slightly. (
see here). So I don't think its a good idea to think they are targetting only the extremely heavy users, they are trying to target everyone they can.
