Interesting the different approaches to water and Internet usage. The government actually mandates 1.6 gallon low-flush toilets. That’s why your pipes are big enough, you probably have LFT’s.
Now imagine if every year you needed bigger toilets (I don’t like to think about why). So you would upgrade to 720p toilets, then 1080p toilets, and now 4K toilets, with 8K on the horizon. And imagine that the government thought it was un-American to have a low flush toilet, when people in Copenhagen and Singapore and Seoul have giant turd flushing machines. And they wanted to subsidize building bigger pipes, and make it illegal to charge for water by the gallon, all to promote gigantic toilets that will support the economy and the education of our children. Not sure how to extend the metaphor to net neutrality or paid prioritization, I guess no matter what you were flushing, it would have to flush equally fast, even during Superbowl halftime. Don’t get me going on the government banning incandescent lightbulbs.

No. I have big enough pipes where it doesn't matter. Turn on all of the sinks and flush all of the toilets. No noticeable impact. ;-) ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Paul Conlin via Af" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 10:05:18 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Well there goes all our bandwidth.

Amazon streaming4Know. Ohh we see that now as well. Customer with a 6 meg package calls in, "Yea the net is slow I'm not getting my bandwidth" I go look at they have a constant traffic stream of 5.8 meg day in and day out for months. I ask, do you have young kids at home? "yup, but all they are doing is watching netflix cartoons, and my wife just watch's stuff on her ipad shouldn't use that much bandwidth." What will it take to teach customers that its not 6 meg PER DEVICE.. lol On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 8:55 AM, Ken Hohhof via Af <[email protected]> wrote: I’m not so worried about 4K as I am that this will be the year we get hit with the transition from one Netflix stream to everybody in the house streaming video at the same time and people don’t understand why they used to be able to stream video and now they can’t. I’m already seeing it. I love the people who swear they don’t stream video at all, just Youtube and Facetime and on-demand on the satellite TV and some video on the Xbox and the new smart TV and a couple Rokus and some Facebook videos on the iPad, but no streaming going on here.

This is going to make for an ugly christmas season. If we had customer service who was firm it wouldnt be an issue "we dont offer that speed currently" but instead, the customers on 900 will be the ones who get the tv, and the subscription and call in, and CS will keep saying, well isnt there anything we can do for this guy in the middle of the forrest with the 300 foot cable run? and Ill have to go home and punch one of my children, probably the boy, Im kind of afraid of the girl.

I'd think if someone could figure out a way to get the movies from RAM, they could also figure out a way to capture them from a stream.

It's a licensing issue... that's why "streaming" is OK. Travis On 12/9/2014 7:00 PM, Bill Prince via Af wrote: That 187MB translates to only about 11.25 GB per hour.

I'm sure it's part of their licensing deals, but if they could buffer 60 seconds of stream (at any quality), they would have much fewer support calls for streaming issues, etc. Using Netflix's 25Mbps for 4k, that works out to 187.5MB of storage space. At current RAM prices, you can buy a 256MB module for $15 full retail... so places like Samsung can probably buy them in quantity for less than $2. Seems like it would be worth it to pay an extra $10 for a TV/DVD/PS4/Wii-U device that could handle 60 seconds of video.

But on my network it tends to burst to 90Mbps then sit around for a while, then burst back to 90Mbps. I think the 4k will require a lot of optimizations before it works on the built in TV’s.
