On "The Movies That Made Us" A Nightmare On Elm Street episode, they talk about how the producer put in scenes that Wes Craven didn't want. A few are the blowup doll/mom being ripped through the window, the gooey stairs and the bed scene at the end I think.

The documentary is amazing and shows just how random and amazing that the movie even got made.

Because they oversell and their infrastructure is pressed constantly, they'd rather you not use it.

They'd rather de-prioritize throughput, put in data caps and limits for rent-seeking than actually build up infrastructure. If you have a node overloaded it takes a long time to even know, and they drag their feet on upgrading it while they turn up the latency causing de-prioritization (throttling though not directly).

We have allowed ISPs to incentivize themselves to not increase network infrastructure throughput, slow progress benefits them. Rather than upgrading for better service, rent-seeking for slower and slower service compared to market/user need.

Without innovations like DOCSIS, like DOCSIS 3.1 + DOCSIS 4 and other throughput multiplexing technologies, we'd be even worse off on infrastructure. These ISPs will just not run fiber.
