Actually, I think it was all the people going bust that were begging for 
the "killer app". Us country folk were happy with the way things were. 
As for using QoS for p2p traffic, would you like to explain to me how my 
Cisco routers can tell the difference between the various flavors of p2p 
and say ftp?

As stated in my previous post, we do fine with our pricing. It's all our 
competitors that are now buying transit from us and dropping 
multi-homing because they can't afford it anymore that have problems. 
Then, on the other hand, you have the people that scream we are too 
high, and so and so offers it cheaper (say an RBOC or any major city). 
It's aggrivating to wait while businesses finally keel over dead or 
adjust their pricing to match the real costs.
