Virgin.net's stance on Net Neutrality

[#1]

If you think about it from the BT wholesale angle for a moment. Leaving out an ISP purchasing the bandwidth. To me it would definitely seem to be that it costs more per 1Mbps for BT wholesale to build a link using 622Mbps links then 10Gbps link when building a network with 10Gbps capacity.
All I'm trying to say is BT wholesale should sell the cheaper product. However for some unknown reason they don't. They insist on selling only the more expensive 622Mbps links to ISPs which in turn reduces the amount of bandwidth allowance us customers get.

Or in Freeserve/Wanadoo/Orange's case, a shed load of 155's.

Have you considered resilience? At the moment PN can loose a 622 pipe and although speeds are down a bit, everybody can get connected. So they'd need two 10Gbps links.

[#4]

Even with added resilience I'd be amazed if the price of 2 10Gbps links was more expensive then 16 622Mbps links

[#5]

The potential to lose an entire 10Gbps central would be rather scary though.

Can you imagine the hit on the radius servers as all those users tried to reconnect?
