Will the provider unbundle the components so that it's feasible for a niche vendor to sell me custom connection services?
No?
Then the provider doesn't get to decide.
It's about control. As the customer, the guy with the green, I should have it. A combination of decisions on the provider's part which strips me of control is unacceptable.
You want prioritization? Give me unbundling. You don't want to unbundle? Don't mess with my packets.
If you want control: Don't buy the cheapest commodity product.
When you sell 15 megs as a commodity for $50 and 1.5 megs non-commidity for $700, don't pretend that I have that I have a choice. But then you're writing from Norway, so perhaps you're not up to speed on the situation in NANOG territory. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
