[brlug-general] Cox prepares to suck more.

[Tim Fournet]

 From the Description:
"""
/ During the occasional times the network is congested, this new 
technology automatically ensures that all time-sensitive Internet 
traffic --- such as web pages, voice calls, streaming videos and gaming 
--- moves without delay. Less time-sensitive traffic, such as file 
uploads, peer-to-peer and Usenet newsgroups, may be delayed 
momentarily...' Sounds like throttling to me."
"""
/Sounds like QoS to me. I don't see a problem at all with giving 
downloads a lower priority on the network than voice, streaming videos, 
and gaming. They should have been doing this years ago when QoS 
prioritization became common on most LANs and WANs.

Do you really want your VoIP applications to stutter just so that your 
neighbor can download the latest episode of Lost from thepiratebay 20 
seconds faster?
