“… before the networks get congested.”

There’s a standing myth about telco networks. It’s the same with bandwidth and population density for Internet connection: the more congested the network is for the holidays (SMS greetings and the like), the worse the connection gets. Thus, results from holiday telco greetings (Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!) are evidently “problematic” to some extent when it hits Christmas or New Year’s eve.
Which is why a lot of people prefer to send their holiday greetings hours before midnight, “… before the networks get congested.”
Do you experience the same issues? I heard that congested networks are a myth. There’s always enough bandwidth, it’s just that someone’s stepping on the pipe. And this is the reality for most service providers. It seems a little unfair when you’re dealing with a “virtual commodity.”
But such is life. So before the networks get congested, here’s a happy greeting towards 2009 from me to you!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM CELLPHONE9!
