In my case, I would be willing to pay a bit more to get rid of the 250G bandwidth cap, but not only won't my provider offer that, there's no other provider available which will offer service to my house that is comparable at all. I have nowhere else to go, and I think that is the typical situation for most households in the US. Even if the industry manages to get it together in terms of making clear what level of service they offer, I don't know that there's any way out of this conundrun other than legislation. P.S. My neighborhood is about as far from being a tech backwater as it is possible to be in the world. Yet I still have only one viable option for high speed Internet. It's a business & law problem, not a technology problem. -- Cos _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
