Re: WE WANT MORE UPLOAD
said by plencnerb  :
My problem right now is the use of Servers. The argument I always hear why an ISP does not allow/like its users to run servers is that they eat up all the upstream bandwidth. Yet, everyone is allowed to run P2P servers 24/7/365 and no one says Boo to them.
A reasonable cap on monthly upstream usage would solve the P2P problem. Assuming we are talking upping the upstream without price hikes then a 10GB upstream monthly cap would not be unreasonable and still provide lots of transfers for non-P2P users.
Increasing downstream speeds, btw, doesn't interest me much. Unless we can all get 10Mb/s it won't matter much if you are 1.5 or 3 or whatever. EVen with 10Mb/s there's not much value at this time because there's not much content out there to exercise that kind of bandwidth, and certainly not free content which is what we use most often.
Very high downstreams are often like owning a fantastic sports car; it can go fast but there's nowhere to drive it. It's just bragging rights.
Give me upstream and the ability to be creative by running servers and providing my own content.
