    aidanjt, what's wrong with the internet? How is it "stressed" and "bloated"? I'd say it's thriving and has become one of the best technological advancements of the 20th century!

    The internet is THE greatest technological advances of all time, and posibly will ever be.. I'm not disputing that.
    What I am disputing is the purpose in fitting fatter and fatter backbone pipes to carry extra wastage which continues growing.

    In short, if the water/sewerage companies operated like ISP and backbone routing companies we would be up to our eyebrows in sh*te.
