That makes no sense. If you sold a service, you should have the capacity to provide it.

- gokhan 16y agoThat actually make sense. What you say is like suggesting that, back in the modem era, an ISP should keep matching number of modems on it's end equal to the number of users it has. If there's 10.000 users, there should be 10.000 modems to dial into? Business can't survive like this.
- boredguy8 16y agoActually AOL lost a massive class action suit because of its busy signals when they moved from an hourly rate to a flat monthly rate, and then couldn't deliver. Does Google really have 7.5 GB set aside for every mailbox that exists? No. But people aren't being capped at 5 GB, either.
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoI'm not saying there needs to be a 1:1 relation. I'm saying that, if 40% of your users are connected on peak, you should have some number greater than 40% to supply them. (Obviously, you can't account for abnormal spikes in usage). In a normal day, I shouldn't get a busy tone! In the same way, if you sell me an "unlimited" service, it had better be unlimited. I should be able to saturate my connection (with legitimate traffic; malicious users can (should?) be nuked from orbit) without being disconnected for "excessive" usage. Otherwise, It's not unlimited.
