My point is that these people are talking about bandwidth throttling.. It is what they are talking about. When they are talking about capping and tweaking or what ever word they use.
Most people don't understand a packet travels at the same speed on a 1 MBPS connection as it does does a 20 MBPs. They don't get the whole pipeline connection idea. Maybe you should explain to them what internet speed is.. Instead of just telling them they are wrong.
