I don't think your provider has guaranteed you 10Mbit constant bandwidth to every host on the internet. Would you demand 10Mbit constant bandwidth to the Galapagos islands? Or to some site getting slashdotted?
If you check your contract, I suspect 10Mbit or whatever is described as a maximum possible speed which can be affected by a variety of conditions and is not guaranteed.
- lsaferite 13y agoIf you read the post I was replying to, he was alluding to customers pulling a sustained 10Mbit on the connection during certain hours and that being justification for shenanigans. I was simply saying if I pay for a full 10Mbit (not bursted 10Mbit) then I expect to be able to saturate that and not have the ISP try to justify throttling some of the traffic or charging a downstream source for the 'right' to send me data over a connection I'm already paying for.
