But 128K is horribly limited for any remote users trying to access a site over a vpn, webmail, you name it.
Or when your ADSL circuit is limited to 128kbps upstream at L2 and your packets hit the wire slower, VoIP degrades. Please note the recent stream of mail from Michael Sutton and InternetNZ re ENUM.
Which is what I was lead to believe was the reason for a 128k upstream to begin with: locking VoIP out, to protect Telecom - the poor dears - from competition against their voice services. It's rubbish, regardless, and if protecting Telecom from competition is the real reason then doubly so. Free market rules say innovate or die, don't go crawling to the Government for protection against more-efficient competitors (unless you're the media industry, of course). -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
