OK Thanks

[Hans]

lets ask the soonet gods?
Are you going too get a response faster with your 25meg connection than I am with my 7meg

That is not the point nor the reason to have high download speeds.

ok
I can get the newest movie out there in 15 minutes and you can in 5.
I can do it all day. []You can do it 3 or 4 times.
What's your point?

[Hans]

I will try to explain with an example.
I share my connection with multiple devices inside my home. I can stream a movie to my tv while my son plays a game on a laptop and my wife downloads songs from Itunes. If all goes well each connection will have limited delays and the overall experience of speed will be that of a high speed connection.

If I would do the exact same thing limiting my WAN connection from 25 to 7 Mbps, each device would start to show noticeable delays, my movie might start to stutter, my wife will start to complain the tv is slowing her laptop down and my son will have his game start to lag.

What I use my connection for is to much of an average load for a 7 Mbps profile. The only solution is a higher speed profile.

[Andre]

therin goes the argument.
I'm talking about me, and my connection.
<y family or others who take advantage to that is another

[Hans]

And this is also my connection.

[Andre]

A quick search of you says you a are a retired male with no offspring in you residence.

I'm often wrong.
Please correct me

[Hans]

You are wrong.

His point is that you kept arguing the fact of the speed. You asked to justify, and he did.
