How much faster do you think the Internet would be if there were no P2P services/apps?

[Night201]

I was just thinking about how much bandwidth everyone uses and I was wondering what the performance would be like if there were no P2P sharing apps...

What do you all think? Are there any stats showing the percentage of P2P traffic on the internet as a whole?

I was under the impression most of the fiber in the u.s.a. goes unused?

I'm sure these people know link

Will have to wait until they get unhacktified though to ask.

Not as fast as it would be if there was no porn. Then nobody would use it.

Whatever it is, it prolly wouldn't be as fast as if everybody on the internet logged off.

It'll go as fast as the slowest segment in your chain to internet.

 

[vi edit]

Or how about if we got rid of those damn AOL'ers?

 

[ReiAyanami]

it would be as fast as it was before p2p took off. the exact same speed. 95% of the world's fiber goes unutilized, which is why global crossing, worldcom, and tons of others went bankrupt.

oh why cant they bring the fiber to the home!

It wouldn't be any different because most peoples' connections are the slowest link.

Yes, but all those little trickles of data add up upstream.

no mp3s or distribution of copyrighted material = faster internet.

this question should be asked to the Neffers. how much faster it'd be without all the nefs.

 

[spidey07]

Actually the Internet is very underutilized right now. It wouldn't make any difference.

less-useful internet, too.

 

[oliver2k]

i like mp3s and <<cough>>copyrighted<<cough>> software

Since most peoples internet connections are the slowest link, it wouldn't be much different.
