CRed05 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-net-neutrality-20140114,0,522106.story#axzz2qTFMpP47 Advocates of a free and open Internet could see this coming, but today's ruling from a Washington appeals court striking down the FCC's rules protecting the open net was worse than the most dire forecasts. It was "even more emphatic and disastrous than anyone expected," in the words of one veteran advocate for network neutrality. The Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit thoroughly eviscerated the Federal Communications Commission's latest lame attempt to prevent Internet service providers from playing favorites among websites--awarding faster speeds to sites that pay a special fee, for example, or slowing or blocking sites and services that compete with favored affiliates. Now your ISP can decide to block CR if it wants to. Not surprising that Verizon is one of the companies spearheading this, they have been doing this kind of shit for a while, like blocking certain apps...what a piece of shit company. This is a VERY bad thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sounds like an opportunity for some sort of extortion to me. No wonder why most telecom companies fall into the top 10 most hated companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising that Verizon is one of the companies spearheading this, they have been doing this kind of shit for a while, like blocking certain apps...what a piece of shit company. This is a VERY bad thing! Quick heads up. If Verizon did something like that a chat rep wouldn't have access to be able to provide that kind of information. That would be handled by network engineering and operations. A quick trouble ticket and the techs could have checked to see what was causing it.... now if they say it's because we slowed it down on purpose, then we have an issue. The reps an idiot and probably jobless at this point due to all the publicity this got. I tell people everyday to type like the ceo is reading it... bet this guy would have wished he had.

V8 Beast Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 P.S. the issue with bandwidth and Netflix is about 2 months old. It's the way its routed through the network. Could this be some new found way of throttling or a network error.. maybe. The people that can confirm that probably never will. I will say with all the publicity this thing is getting I would bet money they put a rush on getting it fixed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
