<p>Firstly, if a SP is having issues with a customer maxing out a 20megger, that SP has bigger problems.</p>
<p>Secondly, and since 20mbps is hurting this SP I don't recommend this to them, but ordinarily your sales dept should be calling them, " your maxing out your 20mbps link 100% utilisation, we think it would be to your advantage to UPGRADE your link" - which of course is at a higher cost :)</p>
