Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality & bandwidth providers
High PPS with small packet size and inefficient wireless frame use. Although frame aggregation resolves this for the most part. Or if you are running a high over-subscription ratio and can't handle the continuous traffic it generates. We were troubled by it at one point but those days are long gone. Nothing has really changed on that front, wireless providers were always allowed "legitimate means" to implement QoS. How that was interpreted is beyond me. And it won't be simple to target torrent traffic in particular with the modern techniques that mask torrent traffic as standard web traffic. Not to mention that legitimate systems now use torrent traffic to deliver updates. That's a real can of worms to open up now. In my opinion it's not our concern what customers do with their bandwidth until someone with a badge or a gavel says otherwise. We give our customers the internet, the whole internet, and nothing but the internet.

Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality & bandwidth providers
Life isn't fair and you are not entitled to your oversubscription ratios. I'm fine with lower cost plans that have higher contention during peak hours, as long as it's clearly and fairly disclosed. I'm not fine with plans being advertised as XX Mbps, flatrate and no data caps and then not delivering. A consumer should have a reasonable expectation of getting about XX Mbps, even during peak hours, if they subscribe to a XX Mbps plan. As such, the consumer using what they paid for is in no way any form of abuse.

Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality & bandwidth providers
I counter your claims of fallacy with my own claim of bad analogy. The restaurant business is nothing like the ISP business, where critical inputs have lower and lower unit costs each year, the seller sets the rate of service and consumption has well know diurnal usage patterns. However, what we have here is purely a business model problem, not a consumer over usage problem. Even the heaviest of consumers are only using the service as advertised. If you can't deal with that, don't use terms like "flatrate", "X Mbps", "no data caps", etc. in your marketing and service plans. As as they say, live by the sword, die by the sword.

Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality & bandwidth providers
I talked to a reporter on Net Neutrality yesterday, and this is one of the things I highlighted, as a scenario in which an ISP could help customers after Title II no longer applied. Like, "I know your Internet stinks right now; it's your XBox updates and your Windows updates, and that's the reason you can't stream Netflix. I can't manage traffic priorities during peak hours for you." I had a customer call for support because their PS4 was uploading and saturating their upstream. We ended the call with all electronics in his house in a pile in the living room to prove that it was one of his devices and not my service. tim -- Tim Cailloux t...@southern-internet.com (404) 406-9911 On Fri, Dec 15, 2017, at 12:55, Vance Shipley wrote: > Good story.

Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality & bandwidth providers
Do you not have a DMCA contact? I get these things daily and I have a pretty small customer count with a geographic that I would suspect is minimally using Bittorrent.

Re: [WISPA] Net neutrality & bandwidth providers
I would agree with Adair, Torrent is a non-issue for us. We have seen more complaints from Windows Update and Xbox Live Updates impacting customers connections, meaning they call in and say “I am paying for 20 Meg service and when I run a speed test I am only seeing 2 Meg Down or wny is my Netflix buffering”. We go and look and they will have a windows update running in the background taking 18-19 Meg of their connection up and you have to explain that to them, same way with Xbox accept all our gamers have our 50 Meg plan and it will chew up 30 to 40 Meg downloading an update or game. Luckily, we can manage this with our Procera now so we don’t hear from customers as much.
