I agree, but there still need to be constraints. For instance, if I have a 1Gb symmetrical connection, it's probably still unreasonable for me to expect 1Gb connecting to my buddy's 1Gb 3k miles away.
- geocar 5y agoIf you and your buddy use the same ISP, no it is not unreasonable.
- vlan0 5y agoRight, that's likely doable on the same ISP, even 3k miles away. It does highlight a philosophical question I raised in another comment. What exactly are consumers purchasing from last mile ISPs? Is it 1Gb to anywhere on the providers network? 1Gb to the nearest CDN/Internet exchange? I don't think there is a good answer for this. But it's important to think about when we talk about ISPs reaching their hand towards large content providers.
