- No, we do not have that kind of a problem in our network.
We have plenty of bandwidth available to our customers,
thank-you-every-much.
- Do you have, just to make an example, about 10 000 customers
in a specific area, like an city/county or part of a
city/county?
- Yes, of course!
- Does these customers have at least 10 Mbit/s connection to the
Internet?
- Yes! Who do you think we are, like stupid! Haha!
- Could all those 10 000 customers, just to make it theoretical,
hit the 'play'-button on their Internet-connected-TV, at the same
time, to watch the latest Quad-HD movie?
The media market has fragmented, so unless we're talking about the first
week in February in the US it's not all from one source or 3 or 5.
So far the most common delivery format for quad HD content online rings
in at around 20Mb/s so you're not delivering that to 10Mb/s customer(s).
On the other hand, two weekends ago I bought skyrim on steam and it was
delivered, all 5.5GB of it in about 20 minutes. That's not instant
gratification but it's acceptable.
- Yes. Oh wait a minute now! This is not fair! Damn. We're toast.
