are 'they' prepared for cable ?

19-11-2000 1:00am#1A while back, I was interviewed along with 5 other people by an Eircom marketing team to complete a survey. They were asking what we used the internet for etc etc. Then the woman hands us all sheets of a 'theoretical' implementation of a new high speed service, what it was was an ISDN package which later came to be High Speed, I told them what I thought but she only wanted positive reactions, bítch.
Anyways, she asked us what ideas we had , I said a 24/7 flat rate service but she canned that before I could explain myself.
Another thing that really worried me was that when she proposed another package, garunteeing high quality connections, servers capable of coping with the amount of banwidth which it could expect. I told her that you can't 'garuntee' that kind of thing and therefore you should remove it from this sheet as a perk, because it's false. Once again she stopped me in my tracks and told me that I should just 'accept that we could cope with it' which I thought was quite naíve at the time.
My point is , is this how the marketers think these days ? esat didn't expect to do as much service as they are doing but it's happening nonetheless. So if that's how they considered bandwidth back then , have they thought the same for cable ? do they think they can cope with the amount of consumers they'll get.
/me is a bit miffed
