Erol, if you wish to use analogies, please use ones that are realistic and comparable.

I am not so het up over the situation and if you think that the "mythical" 5% is not correct then what would your percentage be. It would seem logical to anyone that has an iota of commonsense and has followed these forums over the past year that a very small percentage of users consume a very large percentage of bandwidth and that they are primarily file traders using p2p or newsgroups.

Your statement of "What has any of the above got to do with my disagreement that 5% of BB users do (or even physical can) create 60-80% of the congestion in peak periods ?" is posing a question that was not the initial subject of the thread. 5% of users CAN consume 60-80% of the bandwidth and this is very easily proved, just think about it for a moment and then tell me how they can't.

Your solutions are theoretically correct, but practically have NTL for one got the financial resources to properly scale their resources and what should be the "price". If I or you had the solution to the problems we would be the ones getting ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£3,500 per day, not Barclay.
