Honestly, I would tend to agree. But there are numerous independent researchers tracking the games ISPs play. The most recent spat with netflix(see the graph I posted above), was easily defeated by the use of private VPN. Meaning, it wasn’t the netflix traffic that was “swamping” the ISPs, it was the ISPs identifying the source, and intentionally slowing the traffic down.

Also, you are getting adequate netflix and amazon streaming now, because they are paying their blood money to the ISPs.

I will point out the quote again. This is what the ISPs are paying good money to the GOP congress-criters to fight for, the ISPs “right” to prevent you from getting what you request on the ISP service you are paying for - “Just as a newspaper is entitled to decide which content to publish and where, broadband providers may feature some content over others”

I've never had a problem with it ever. And I watch Netflix almost everyday and have done so since we hooked a computer to our TV in 2008. Never had a problem unless my entire Internet connection went down.

I would not trust anyone involved in this including Netflix. Now with the government having complete control BigMEdia can buy enough congress critters to get what they want. The same way they bought congress critters to get new longer and more restrictive copyrights.

A good rule of thumb is to look at what the Gub'ment names a bill or proposal and translate the title to the exact opposite and you will get what is really happening. Net Neutraility will not be Neutral at all it will favor whoever buys the most Congress Critters.
