I would imagine that the low upstream limit could (partly) have been an effort to curb NZ P2P network traffic.
P2P is being used as a scapegoat, it's sad to see people are buying it.
Aye. The Internet was built on the peer to peer concept. Tim Berners Lee wanted to share some information that he valued with his peers. Steve Crocker and Vint Cerf and Jon Postel did what they did so they could have a network that shared information. Respect to them. Their world was not of consumer/provider. Their world was of equivalency and symmetry. I'm not building my part of The Internet so that the computer and computing is nothing more than a telephone with a screen. Smart Core, Dumb Edge? No thanks. jamie
