Наконец-то стала ясна подоплека всех этих bandwidth throttling скандалов с комкастом, Sandwine и т.д.
Все дело в банальном oversell:

It really depends on where you draw the line on what management is. The service provider has to figure out the business model of how much service they're going to give a subscriber and how much bandwidth they're going to provide to the internet. That oversubscription ratio is their business model.

For every five megabits they sell you for $40, they buy a quarter of a megabit because they're planning on you not using your computer 24/7. They count on you being away at work or being asleep. They simply cannot provision that five megabits because that costs way more than what they're selling it to you for. They need people not using the internet for it to work at $40 a month. Now CBC may buy its one-megabit connection for $800 a month because it's a dedicated one-megabit connection.

А некоторые тут всякие глупости писали про то, что торрент "мусорит в сети".  Ничего он не мусорит, просто он занимает сеть на полную ширину канала.  Которую тебе якобы продали по "анлимит" контракту.

Какое там: Америка в смысле broadband как раз сильно отстаёт не только от Кореи и Японии, но и от Европы :-\
