The telephone companies are asking for the same ability to sell multiple services over the same physical line. Cable companies didn't make theirInternet service slower when they add more private services, why do people expect the telephone companies to make their Internet serviceworse when the telephone companies add private services to their network?
Because they're telephone companies.Because they can't manufacture bandwidth that isn't there. Cable co's provide broadband with a fraction of the loop capacity. For telco's to offer premium service, they have to take from the aggregate capacity. It's a zero sum game,
and for the telco's to get more, the subscribers get less. Tony
