Comment I think we're going to hit a wall (Score 1) 282
I've written a paper on ISP that oversell their pipes some months ago: http://patrickroy.ca/en/2010/08/black-white-or-grey/. I think we're going to hit a wall soon if legislation do not pass quickly to keep ISP honest.
Also I've asked the question of what exactly fits into a quota? routing protocol query's? DHCP traffic?... with rate as high as 1.12$/GB there's a lot of money on the table and regulations should be made to allow them to billed us only for traffic that really reach the Internet, not to your neighbor or to your ISP local equipment. you can read my tough on that here: http://patrickroy.ca/en/2010/09/internet-service-providers-are-stealing-us/
