Hi,
In the next year or two ALL ISP will be using some sort of "traffic shaping" on their networks.0 -
I would ask for some proof for that baseless statement, but there's no point.
Its likely that more companies will, but not ALL.0 -

Can you support that statement with some facts?:rolleyes:0 -
No i can't supply any facts as yet due to business rules.
I can say we have had dealings with over 40 ISP about traffic shaping products and deployment. The reason it will come in to pratice is to save bandwidth and to give a better service and fast speeds for less money then running in new fiber in the ground.0 -

No its not all, the big 5 current ISP already use traffic shaping, the other 40 are all well known ISP's .I dont see why people are getting all shirty about it, it will offers better speeds and improved service.0

The soloution to the problem is for the IPS's to implement more Fiber-WAN's and start doing Fiber trials in homes further up north not just in the "Rich South"oneandonlyboy wrote: »No its not all, the big 5 current ISP already use traffic shaping, the other 40 are all well known ISP's .I dont see why people are getting all shirty about it, it will offers better speeds and improved service.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
The cost would run into millions and millions and who would put the fiber in the ground? thats the biggest problem. Who would pick up the cost?? Traffic shaping would free up current connections for pennys(well a few £000's)0

They could use the sewer system for routing large Fiber backbones, no roadworks and digging up stuff.oneandonlyboy wrote: »The cost would run into millions and millions and who would put the fiber in the ground? thats the biggest problem.

Which is avoiding the problem. We have among the slowest broadband speeds in the first world, and for the highest prices. While the prices aren't unusual for the UK, we are slow!
Proliant, Google is ahead of you!
