Not if your ISP has oversold their upstream bandwidth, and a lot of people start using VOIP. In that case, your ISP is dependant on keeping you fat, dumb, happy, barefoot, and pregnant in the kitchen, taking whatever semidigested pabulum they choose to feed you, and if you start getting uppity by actually thinking for yourself and using something like VOIP, then they're going to have to bitch-slap you back into your rightful place under their thumb.
That is fairly entertaining. Perhaps you could provide the financial breakdown for ANY DSL business model that doesn't rely on over-subscription? Q. How many, full-on 6 Meg DSL subscribers can you put on a 45 meg ATM connection without oversubscription? ;) -- Vice President of N2Net, a New Age Consulting Service, Inc.
