>Huh, that's funny. I though I ALREADY PAID the ISP to get the best possible transmission.

You *want* video streams to have priority over non-realtime traffic across the ISP network and your last-mile though, don't you? It's generally a good thing.

How this gets worked out, and who, if anyone, makes money from doing so is another issue.

Is prioritizing one kind of traffic logically the same as de-prioritizing all other traffic?

Comment Re:As opposed to actual Model Ms which are still m (Score 1) 298

I actually have a broken one--it fell off of my desk and whacked into a leg of my chair, and after that a cluster of keys stopped working.

That's ok though, I just went and got another one out of my hoard, and will get around to opening up that fallen one some day... I have several more spares so that should be a lifetime supply, even if I live for a very long time.

Comment Re:100 Gbit? (Score 1) 52

The current speed of the equipment at each end is fairly meaningless; the big expense is actually laying the fiber in the first place. Optical equpiment keeps getting more speed out of the same ol' single mode fiber. It won't be just one fiber either, it will be a whole bunch, so really it can be "100GBit * some # of fibers" from the get-go.

Live's first album "Mental Jewelry" is worth listening to if you've never heard it. Much less meaningless-pseudo-hard-rock than you might expect if you've just heard them on the radio or whatnot.
