Maybe that's necessary in some cases, but it'd sure be better to find a way to address the issues through technology rather than getting rid of customers. But there are at least some indications that bandwidth limiting might not always be a sufficient solution if the problem is really packet processing capacity. Also, I think getting rid of troubling customers isn't actually a solution (except in extreme cases) because they are often an indication of where things are headed for the broader market. It's a chance to solve the problem now when not many people are affected rather than waiting until it's an issue with lots and lots of end users. (By the way, though I'm following up after Matt, I'm not picking on his response, just trying to point out what I think some of the issues are. We're also looking at no throttling at certain times of the day, but restricting usage during peak hours).

Check out the High Speed Wireless program here. Pay special attention to the transfer limits. http://www.odessaoffice.com/services.html We turn things like that into profit centers. If they won't pay, then they fire themselves. OR they learn to control their usage. If they stay and don't control usage, fine with me.

Re: [WISPA] P2P Apps Going Legit?
Or - shape EVERYTHING. You don't want limits? You can easily set a burst limit, not like a typical one, but using long averages and multiple shapes. Like for instance: 10M burst, for 10 seconds, then 5M burst for 30 seconds, after that you take it down to 1-2Mbps for say 30 more seconds. But you don't tell the customer this... On a MT router, I noticed shaping on conventional shared cable broadband - you can literally watch the shape on a big download. - Original Message - From: "David E.

RE: [WISPA] P2P Apps Going Legit?
The only cure for P2P is bandwidth caps. We have operated this way since our inception 5 years ago. We all sale bandwidth for a living - - the more I sale the more money I make. I tell every client what their share is for the month (listed in our TOS & AUP) and I charge for any amount over that. I do shape all P2P, but that is for self preservation!
