[QUOTE="Gnosis, post: 108498, member: 134"] I guess I should explain my situation so my way of thinking is not misunderstood. I have wireless. Sometimes it is decent. But usually I am tickled to death if I can download a movie via NetFlix in under 2 hours. That is rare. So that is why I am so adamant about the supply side being there regardless how much is being downloaded by my neighbors or people 10 miles away. I am already penalized without having my monthly usage capped to 3 Gigs, or something similarly ridiculous. If providers/servers cannot keep up, they need to stop whining an charge more. Then they can take that money and build a better infrastructure instead of nagging or punishing users further, and hoarding cash while complaining that we "USE" too much. Ever notice how it is ALWAYS the users fault? Not the host, servers, or uploaders? Funny how that works. I call it LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY and being generally irresponsible by not meeting your customers needs. Now if some jerk is downloading 1 TB a day, or 10 GB a day, or something like that, I can see where they need to be slapped around a little. I understand that, but the lower end of those data amounts are very necessary for some users, esp. for business needs, and many businesses put a heavy load on the servers, and they simply cannot stop doing business because ISP's and servers cannot keep up. That is when it is time for some upgrades for the customers. [b]The biggest problem with wireless, is that 90% of people don't have sense enough to lock their smart phones out of the router that they use for their PC's.[/b] That in itself causes huge traffic jams. I have tweaked all of my neighbors routers to force their smart phones to use the AT&T tower, instead of the primary wireless ISP tower. I wish everyone around here would do that. [/QUOTE]
