| Lower the maximum speeds and eliminate caps! The root of the problem is that all of the Internet providers want to advertise the highest speed possible while only really being able to support a much lower rate. How about we just lower those maximum speeds until we no longer have to worry about bandwidth hogs?
It seems like every ISP wants customers who don't actually use their product to any significant degree. |

| i am wondering why that tv is sucking up so much bw |

| It's not that those TVs are sucking up that much bandwidth, if they were doing 10MB/day before and they are doing 100MB/month now that's "10X increase!" that sounds a lot but it's nothing to cry about.
If you read elsewhere also it says ONLY Samsung SmartTVs are being blocked. Other devices and as well as LG SmartTVs are not gonna be blocked. Main reason for LG though is that they are working out a deal to pay them. |

Exactly; truth in advertising is important. These ISPs shouldn't promise to deliver what they can not deliver. Slow the speed down and allow the consumer to use the connection for whatever purpose THEY chose. The consumer is paying the bill! |

No the root of the problem is that this Korean ISP wants to lock out the competition so its own IPTV service (aka "Ollie") can succeed. You don't understand there's an abundance of bandwidth in Korea. Connections are blazingly fast. |
