The point of the article was that you have to demonstrate there is a problem if you want to claim there's a problem that needs solving. If the "hogs" are doing their huge downloads when most customers are asleep, and if there's no impact on the rest of the customers, then what's the problem? Simply saying that 5% of the customers download 75% (or whatever) of the packets doesn't mean that that 5% is impacting the rest of the users or the network as a whole. ISPs need to show more data if they want to convince educated users that throttling is necessary. Cheers, Scott.

If so, you need to start reading different news sites. http://kristof.blogs...lth-care/?apage=7 My Sunday column looks at health care reform through the prism of Nikki White, a young woman from Tennessee. She became too sick with Lupus to work Â and then lost her health insurance, and then died because of lack of medical care. We may know intellectually that 18,000 Americans die each year because they donÂt have insurance, but to confront one such person is still heartbreaking. And I just canÂt believe that we will let this opportunity for health reform slip through our fingers, so that Americans like Nikki continue to die needlessly every 30 minutes. [...] More on Nikki here: http://www.post-gaze...339/743713-84.stm HTH. Cheers, Scott.
