Mowgli1647545497 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 One bit at a time. Soon they'll own your reality. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/02/23/comcasts-deal-with-netflix-makes-network-neutrality-obsolete/ SO.... Netflix folded. Who's next? Here's hoping Google pins these fuckers to the floor when they come sniffing around for cash to deliver those viral Youtube videos to your home. Oh, and if you have a startup that takes off, but the ISPs don't like you? Meet Guido, the net charge extortion agent.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I for one welcome my future Google overlords when they blanket the country in fiber optics. That article makes it sound like the easy solution would be to not allow backbones to also be an isp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Netflix sucks dick anyways. I figured id give it a try since we have pretty basic cable at my place and i just got a tv with netflix on it. All of the content is old and out dated, the streaming quality was meh. Selection was limited. I canceled within the free trial period so no harm done i guess. I have been using my XBMC that i built earlier this year and its been great. Free, up to date content, ect.. etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds awesome from what i have read. Once you do, install a plugin called icefilms. So much stuff on there. Its usually updated within a day or two of airing.
