Not to mention that DSL traffic is carried as UBR
(unspecified bit rate) on
the ATM cell relay network. This means no QOS, no commited cells, no
standard ATM service classes of any kind! UBR basically means "We might get
your packets there if we have absolutely nothing else to do. Then again, we
might not".
So what am I supposed to do? I want control of my own servers, and I can
neither afford nor justify a frame relay private circuit.
Also, I have to wonder about something. If everything you say is true, you
are implying also that DSL service stinks. If that's truly the case, why
has it become such a runaway success?
I think I'll wait to see how it actually performs before I slap it down.
I'm not committed to any type of minimum service contract, so I really
don't have a lot to lose.
