We're delivering full IP connectivity, it's the school that's deciding to rate-limit based on application type.

You're not delivering "Full Internet IP connectivity", you're delivering some degraded pseudo-Internet connectivity. If you take away one of the major reasons for people to upload (ie P2P) then of course they'll use less upstream bw. And what you call disproportionate ratio is just an idea of "users should be consumers" and "we want to make money at both ends by selling download capacity to users and upload capacity to webhosting" instead of the Internet idea that you're fully part of the internet as soon as you're connected to it. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
