I am sure at this early stage of adsl that the the theory I proposed (not mine of course I just read it somewhere and it made sense) would not impact a lot of people. My analogy would be if liking it to a school yard. If you are big then you play with the 'big boys' and take the knocks that go with that, however if you are little and play with the 'big boys then sooner or later you will get hurt. If an ISP offers huge downloads then all the 'big boys' would play there. If changes are introduced by the ISP or if the speed drops to a crawl then you take the knocks as that is the risk. If you are only a small user then it makes no sense to play with the 'big boys' as their problems become your problem. In your case I would be interested to know how many users are on your 'pipe'. If you had the pipe used to the max would there be restrictions put on by ISP or would there naturally be a degradation in service. I recall hearing of problems in the US of those on cable where so many users hogging the pipe that fights erupted as a result. I suspect that we are all in the infancy stages of broadband and the real test may not come for a few more years. sam m	sam m (517)
