And any decision they make affects the others. that by it self is one VERY huge big problem. Prioritizing and fair queueing is good and doesn't require DPI. in a way it will ebentually free the bandwidth if not needed. (using that to manage my network, gave some services high priority and P2P the lowest, if a torrent is downloading I can surf the web without hindering its performaces -- given that it's before 16h or after 2h ) what's going on now is that the isp (Actually one or two) is messing with the packets. (ex: taking a TCP packet sent from A to B and transforming it to look like a RST which will cause that simply cut that connection. a thing that I'm sure A didn't want). Worse when people noticed the throttling and begun encrypting traffic, they deliberatly throttled any encrypted traffic regardless of it's content. so it you're using a VPN connection to work from home ... guess what? you're screwed. to keep the metaphor if you want your package to be delivered faster you pay for premium service (be it with FedEx or UPS or the Canada Post ..). that's what people paying for High speed are doing I guess. if I want to just read my emails a 56kpbs connection is more that enough, and costs a lot less. @jose,

ISPs not only own the highways but also the vehicles. prioritization of the content can only be done through DPI...something that FedEX or UPS do well and have competitiveness amongst. in the context of a ISP being a transport, perhaps and ISP should be said to be a “transporter”.
