[Freedombox-discuss] Internet upload paradigm

[Marc Manthey]

hello everybody,

last week someone rang at my door and told me , the local telekom.com   
competitor netcologe.de offers free fibrewire connectivity to house  
owners.
Well, thats what i was waiting for since years, i was talking to my  
self and let him do his job.
After he put the cable in the ground and a day later someone from  
netcologne.de put a nice white zyxel box in the cellar.
I was calling the netcologne.de service hotline and asked how do i get  
fibrewire and asked for prize and data.

What i heard from telekom.com they  offer up to 200 MBit/s down and  
100 MBit/s UPLOAD

If this would be the case i would quit my hoster and run my blog on a  
local machine and had enough resources to "feed" some other  
freedomboxes in the future :)

The netcologne.de support told me that the service is called  
"multicable" and they offer 100 MBit/s down and >> 5 << !!MBit/s  
UPLOAD for about 55 €
this is the same rate i could get over my NORMAL TV cable from them or  
unitymedia.de !!

So they wanna sell me a throttled fibrewire connection with  5 MBit/s  
UPLOAD or they just want to prevent houseowners to get the faster  
telekom.com fibrewire ?


I mean they doing this since ages to prevent users from running  
services on they local machines.
Nowadys every 300 € desktop machine has the same power then a rented  
webserver somewhere in a data center, but this UPLOAD paradigm does  
not change.

Isnt a 50/50 up/download rate part of netneutrallity ?

thanks for any comments

Marc
