[AusNOG] Complexity is not an excuse for an industry-wide cop-out (was Re: Conroy quit.)

Oh, and don’t forget - Its got to be cheap. 

 

I don’t care about the CVC or connection fee’s of the ISP <eyes glaze over>, I just want my Netflix faster than my ADSL but still cheaper.

Yeah, right. That’s gonna happen.

Do people really care about speed in terms of numbers? I'd say they care about functionality. I want my Netflix to start instantly and in HD - every time. I don't really care how or why - thats why I pay the ISP.  People realise that if they want 4 of their AppleTV's to do that at the same time they need to pay a little more. 

 

 

I only run a speedtest when things aren't doing what i want at that point in time and I don't really care if SpeedTest shows me 103Mbit/s from Alaska if at the same time I'm staring at iTunes telling me my movie will start playing in 43 hours. That means designing your networks to support this traffic from the customer  all the way to the content, including doing what's needed to move that content closer and making sure it works properly all the time (rapid dns, etc)
