What is this "upgrade" thing you all speak of? When your links become satur=
ated, shouldn't you solve the problem by deploying DPI-based application-di=
scriminatory throttling and start double-dipping your customers? After all,=
it's their fault for using up more bandwidth than your flawed business mod=
el told you they will use.
(If you're not familiar with Bell Canada, it's OK if you don't get the joke=
).
