I have had 3 sets of capacity issues with my FTTC since last year, one at a BT metro node, one on an SVLAN running from this exchange, and one due to congestion at BT's 21CN core sites.
If every ISP had to sell only what they could guarantee we'd all be paying what we are now for 500k - 1Mb.
I know what you're saying but it's a completely unrealistic argument. |
What I meant by built to cope was that it was built to cope with a number of users going made with the rest not. That's why I've always got full speed out of my connection bar the odd time when a network issue has existed and it's been pitifully slow.
