Re: Upload Limit
I see it as a give and take situation.
A isp gets benefits for been able to advertise unlimited usage 24/7 with no slowdowns, some isps do just that.
Obviously the downside of making those claims is of course they will have heavy users on their networks, and my opinion is those isp's have to eat the cost or change what they offering. The odd heavy user will lose money, but thats made up by the many users who have a connection idle or close to idle the vast majority of the time.
How high a contention ratio needs to be for it to be noticeable is obviously an ever changing figure and probably varies from one location to the next, but it is interesting to see from ignition's figures an estimated level of current contention ratio levels.
I cant help feel tho BT's recent network issues are timed to when they started spending silly money on football rights, so it wouldnt surprise me if there was budget cuts to help pay for those rights.
