new thread: QoS, latency, bandwidth and the FCC/net neutrality debate

[Eric Oyen]

by the way, it seems that no one has mentioned that there is a lot of unlit fiber laying in the ground going unutilized. considering that each fiber can carry anywhere up to 50 gbits/sec, shouldn't those be tasked to handle extra traffic? sure, I know there would have to be some extra equipment (like load balancers, extra nodes and other equipment), but it is doable for a lot less cost than the ISP's would have us believe.

Think of highways with HOV lanes. They exists to help easy congestion on the road. Networking tools like traffic shaping, throttle, and policing of traffic act the same way.
