Re: New minimum speed for US broadband connections

[Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net>]

I think there was a discussion on NANOG sometime earlier this year about how negligent it was of operators to 
oversubscribe the way they do. Now the sentiment in this thread is to push peak speeds above all else because no one 
uses it anyway, so let's get this microbursting out of the way. 




Can't have it both ways. Well, without being wasteful.

If 2 people use it at the same time, do they call in with a trouble ticket that they didn’t get their contracted 
bandwidth?

That is true, but if no one uses it, is it really gone?

Yeah I thought gpon was 2.4 ghz down and 1.2 ghz up... so you could only honestly sell (1) 1 gbps symm service via that 
gpon interface correct? (without oversubscription) 

I think ng-pon(2), xgs-pon and other variants allow for much more.
