Bullcrap. This is a ‘solution’ in search of a problem. Name for us what sites were slowed down and by whom, please.

All of the morons advocating this are just losers who are willing to sell out everyone’s one true platform for freedom of speech because they think their damn torrents will download a couple minutes sooner. They should all be ashamed.

If there's just one thing to know about this, that's it.

For me, this has nothing to do with torrents or porn sites, just ensuring that no censorship occurs or competition inhibited. That being said, I hereby apologize and acknowledge that I stand corrected. Some ISPs WERE thinking about somehow favoring access to their "portal" site and inhibiting access to other portal sites, but that obviously died a deserving death. Upon further research, most reports of "site blocking" seem to be either DNS screwups or security action due to suspicious activity originating from the site or web host.

Overall, I favor competition and just want multiple options for a cheap, open fat pipe to my home.

I also realize that most inhibitors to this are govt. (gotta guarantee only one provider to the community so they can recoup their costs, you know).
