Guys this is a technical trial not a commercial product launch, enough about the semantics of how much you should and shouldn't expect, etc, eh?

dragon regarding your issue, this is certainly doable except people bitch moan and scream as soon as traffic shaping is mentioned. Some resi services already have a minimum guaranteed bandwidth. But again the point is that most people don't actually care...

P.S. Congestion is good if managed properly, means an ISP is making the most of its' assets and can supply services at best possible cost, however contrary to the beliefs of some that a 'dumb' network is the best way of doing this networks are increasing in intelligence in an attempt to balance the needs of P2P monsters with gamers with occasional browsers with news leechers.

P.P.S. Any service delivering 100Mbit that isn't being done over BPON or GPON will only, if you're lucky, give you near 100Mbit to your next door neighbour at 5:01am on a Sunday with the wind blowing in the right direction and a swiftly risen sun shining on your back.
