Either that or their costs will go up. Or everyone elses will go down.How about refer to the constant threads which always touch upon the differentation to be made for these market model targets.
pure transit managed transit pur access managed access residential <---- comcast is here. managed residentialThere are hundereds of things you can call up small dsl providers and ask for. Assuming clue and enable, they can generally give you if not what you want, then what you need.
For example:Try calling up sbc and getting urpf turned off for a specific prefix and having them do IGP default announcements so that when their dsl goes down you will prefer a different link automatically.
How many large market pppoe providers support ppp multilink?Its hardly a foregone conclusion. As it stands, the largest cause of broadband market aggregation is the erosion of "fair access" provisions and a sleeping(drunk?)-at-the-wheel FCC.
