I don't see why that's not easy to believe.
I was joking about it because after last weekend with Telstra, it was kinda expected that we'd see such a comment.
Snap are a size smaller than Telstra, to the point where entire user base going bonkers in one go isn't as likely to swamp their upstream.
In my very limited view, providers like Snap can get away with bringing this sort of value to the market without causing problems.
If Snap were to double demand it might be moving from 1Gb or traffic to 2Gb, so to their up stream that might only be adding 10% to over all traffic. (assuming that Telstra is 10 times the size of Snap).
But Telstra is the big fish in the space, so if they double their traffic they then saturate their upstream who doesn't have demand capacity on line to deal with 200k customers all doubling demand at one time.
Snap also have more than one upstream with completely different peering arrangements into Australia and the US (our two points of connection).
Telstra only deal with Reach.
So I totally believe that Snap and other small ISPs can do this without having any impact on their upstreams and the global peering market.
NZCrusader: If alot more of the users decided to thrash their connection...
