"when the ISPs smack it down"
So it is the ISP's that will cause this problem..?
"Richard Bennett is a network architect and occasional activist in Silicon Valley. He wrote the first standard for Ethernet over twisted-pair wiring and contributed to the standards for Wi-Fi and the Ultra-Wideband wireless network"
It's a pity that for a man so experienced that he betrays his lack of understanding of basic network concepts (or is he just lying?).
FTA
"UDP was intended for real-time data transfers such as VoIP that typically move small amounts of data with a low tolerance for delay."
VoIP wasn't around when UDP was implemented, and it was designed for applications able to deal with packet loss. Seems perfect for BT. In fact I'm going to go change my settings now, so expect the internet to stop working in the next 5 minutes and the world to end shortly.
