> What exactly do you think would happen if everyone in town switched off and on their AC-powered devices at the same time?
Large systems have their own rules.
If everybody watches the superbowl at the same time I'd expect the power grid not to fail.
If everybody gets home at around the same time from work and start powering on devices I'd expect power grid not to fail.
If it suddently gets cold and people turn on heating around same time, I'd expect it not to fail.
Those seem valid expectations and are met.
Therefor when I say if everyone starts streaming netflix it should work, then this is also valid expectation and should be fine.
> It is the level of service you paid for. The overbooking possibility? You paid for it, it was in your contract.
I get what I pay for when I want. I have 1gbps, I can run full speed as much as I want and sometimes it's nice to do that.
I am also in europe. I don't get throttled service and what you say is not in my contract.
What do you say to that?
