They think they're slick but they just made the first move in destroying net neutrality. If no one stops them in three years the nets gonna look like a cable tv menu.

I gotta get the tier 2 package cause its got youtube on it.

Welp US is screwing us again, no surprise:

On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit struck down FCC rules requiring Internet Service Providers, or ISPs, to be neutral in their restrictions on bandwidth. The move means ISPs will be allowed to charge content providers based on how much bandwidth they use, according to Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities

Yea we too busy arguing over consoles to be worried about what verizons doing to customers dumb enough to use their service
You obviously don't understand the significance of this ruling or even what net neutrality was protecting us all from.
This excerpt from law professor and New Yorker columnist Tim Wu sums it up nicely:

Without net-neutrality rules, a firm like Verizon or Comcast can do whatever it likes to content moving across its network. If it wants, it can make a blog that criticized its latest policies unreachable, or block T-Mobile’s customer support. Acting together, the Internet service providers could destroy Netflix by slowing its data to a crawl, making movies impossible to watch.

Such obvious outrages are unlikely; the firms will surely promise to behave themselves. But they might, instead, slowly begin bleeding money out of the Internet economy with quiet threats and expensive carrots, extracting fees and tolls wherever they can. “You better pay for ‘turbo’ access, Mr. Blogger, otherwise who knows how long it will take readers to reach your content.” Or, to a new video-streaming service, it might say, “We’re going to put Hulu ahead of you, unless you pay up”—meaning that its customers would have an easier time watching Hulu videos than content from the new guy. A.T. & T., Verizon, and Comcast already collect more than three hundred billion dollars in revenues every year. But, like any good corporate citizen, they’d like more.

The entire article is worth reading especially for Mr. Wu's very simple solution the FCC can use to remedy this problem. That is if the FCC actually wants to fix this at all.

So the same way tv providers sometimes drop content like Viacom or Fox over price disputes, ISPs will drop the Coli for not paying up? :lupe:
