I've always said DS propritisation on the ISP side is the only place it can work properly, the problem is any ISP that does it does not give you any control over it.
For example you have port 443 SSL traffic prioritized on the basis it's used for interactive, speed sensitive web browsing. Then you have a VPN or newsgroups connection on that same port that also gets prioritised, thus drowning out your gaming traffic because your game runs on an unrecognized port and protocol and gets classified as bulk.
Good if it works properly, not good if one-size-fits-all doesn't fit you.

But I thought they already did?

Some of us don't pay attention to advertising and make decisions based on doing their own research. Course technical oversubscription is the only thing that allows your broadband connection to cost less than £100 a month.

I think it was quite obvious what I meant by oversubscription.
On discussions like this generally contending means having customers share capacity, but if performance isnt affected its considered not oversubscribed. Obviously I meant having too many customers sharing to the point the impact is visible.
