but do i get "the Internet"? ... your claim is that
i am not paying for it. my bills indicate that i -am-
paying for it. (regardless of priority... after all, the
Internet is "best-effort" ... and w/ QoS, i don't get that
anymore... i get the choice to buy crap instead of best effort...)
Best effort is the top-tier of the QoS/priority pyramid... as
sad as that is.
and as others have cleverly pointed out, what i really
am buying is full employment for the AP departments of
telco/isps. :)
