A human being simply is not wired to accept more input. (Yes, machines could digest more... which means that additional bandwidth to and from the home might be useful for the purpose of spying on us.) What does this imply about the FCC's proposal to redefine broadband as a symmetrical 10 Mbps? That they understand that more than one person lives in a house. Spying on us?

Re: 10 Mbit/s problem in your network

When you are staying at a 3* hotel, should you have no expectations that you'll be getting at least a 3Mbps pipe and at least an under 100ms average latency, and won't be getting a balancer that would be breaking up your ssh sessions? If you don't like it, let them know, and stop providing them with your business. Money talks. They'll either decide they need to invest in good Internet, or they'll decide that for their customer demographic it just isn't worth it. I personally think you're being unreasonable on the bandwidth and latency expectations, Hotel Internet connections are there as a convenience rather than some kind of business grade connection. If you are expecting a top quality connection, expect to pay by the GB - so that greedy patrons watching Netflix HD pay for their bandwidth. Broken SSH connections would annoy me though. Graham.
