The expense of service calls do not come close to covering your total misunderstanding of network congestion and trunking. Bandwidth usage has increased massively since Netflix became a thing. It will take time for system upgrades to accommodate, and until then congestion must be dealt with somehow. Even after faster internet becomes common, you can expect users to find newer and more demanding uses for it and the cycle will repeat. Bandwidth usage was increasing massively before Netflix became a thing and it can be expected to increase all the same in the future. Netflix started their streaming service in 2007, while Youtube started in 2005. What has also increased massively since those days is the capability of end devices to handle massive amounts of bandwidth as well as newer ethernet standards coming into play. Host devices made the jump from 10/100 to 10/100/1000 years ago, and ISPs are now able to have 100 Gbps links if they choose to. I think gigabit service today far outweighs an individual user's need for bandwidth (I've only been able to use 1 Gbps down a couple times since I got Google Fiber), but ISPs had the capability to offer 1 Gbps service long before Google Fiber came around. Google Fiber made their announcement to come to Austin and the very next day, AT&T had ads running saying they were going to offer 1 Gbps service 1st, lol. So you'll have to spare me if I don't believe AT&T was only able to start prepping for this the day after Google Fiber made their announcement. Funny how actual competition spurs ISPs do things they refused to do beforehand. --- http://i.imgur.com/ByKGlJb.gif http://i.imgur.com/nZdaA8D.gif http://i.imgur.com/VBLBILg.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:891176814] in Help CE - ...
