Re: ISPs whinging about BBC's iPlayer




: I thought the BBC player was overloading the backhaul, which I thought
: already was fibre?

The backhaul is nowhere near overloaded. They're crying over peering costs,
a problem that can be resolved by each ISP setting up one or two servers to
server popular content. BBC, CH4, Sky and so on all use P2P technologies to
REDUCE the peering costs anyway, the idiot ISPs should take up the
technology, as some already are!

Greedy ISPs looking to make more money.

: I think the OP was right the ISPs need to bill based on the amount
: downloaded/uploaded.

How truly idiotic.
