I'm fine with "free stuff".

Some have family/roommates in the home, so they may be streaming audio and/or video at the same time. Do we fill up a gigabit? No, probably not... but we'd notice if we had a lot less.But using the right queuing disciplines it a lot cheaper than the brute force and ignorance of just upping the bandwidth, right?Queueing doesn't get me my next game in time to play it tonight. I've always seen general queueing as a work-around for "not enough bandwidth and can't add more"... but when more is available, why not just use more?
My provider on the other (Volcano Internet) doesn't seem to have got this memo though. They are building out fiber and the rate sheet is the same as for DSL. I mean, wtf? Why would I want the probable expense of getting it from the curb (assumedly) to my home if it's for the same price? Even if it's ftth at their expense, it seems rather pointless.
I mean, i understand the arm's race, but now it seems to be an arms race for its own sake.
