Netflix Meets With U.S. Regulators Over Net Neutrality

Netflix opposes section of the rules that would allow ISPs to force companies like Netflix to pay more to ensure their content is delivered to consumers. Fears are arising that no longer will just paying for internet get you all the content on the web.

It sucks, but this is what happens when you have cell phone companies getting more control. Look at Cell phones for what internet will be soon. 200 bucks for bare minimum data, extremely slow upgrades to speed, and a country that is falling behind the rest of the world in tech because of greed.

They act like bandwith is such a massive issue, but there are two key things to look at to prove them wrong.

1 Comcast was complaining that it was Netflix's fault that movies couldn't be in HD, yet the very SECOND Netflix coughed up money quality went up.....Netflix didn't have time to set up more servers, and neither did Comcast, yet quality went back up.....hmmm....

2 Other countries (even some with WAY more people in an area) are getting speeds that are quadruple what we have and no data caps to go with it. Yet these connections cost a third of what it costs to get bare minimum here..... "Oh but it's not possible here." IT IS, these companies just won't allow it by "zoning" areas or pushing out companies like Google.

That right there just proves suspicions that Comcast didn't have any issue at all with infrastructure. They are just plain guilty of traffic shaping. Why is this crap not being investigated, there is no way they upgraded anything that fast...

I'm not lying either. Go look up articles from various websites and look at the dates. The time period Comcast randomly started data capping Netflix right up to the point where Netflix finally agreed to pay. Right on that day where Netflix gave in, users already reported better connections, yet articles followed the next week or so about Netflix and Comcast setting up data farms to "fix" the problem they supposedly had already.

Then Netflix also isn't too thrilled about it all either. They attacked Comcast during an investor meeting.

study abroad is the chance to find yourself while acquiring a comprehension of an alternate culture. Being in another spot without help from anyone else can overpower on occasion.
