Set it at an acceptable speed for basic usage, the high usage people still complain. Set it high enough for most apps but not things like streaming HD movies, then you get people who just have the movie sent to their storage devices, even if it takes several hours. Get several of these, and the system still gets overloaded, and it is actually a worse situation, because the system can't speed up when the network clears and erase the backlog. It becomes a situation like plumbing where 2/3s of a pipe is clogged, the water won't flow faster even if you open the faucet fully.
Just wondering. Is it possible for an ISP to put a block on high data use down loads in a large sharing environment?
