As it is now, I pay $45 a month for internet access that my cable company advertises for $15. Why? Because if I took the cheaper deal, I wouldn’t be able to screen dozen of videos every day to judge which are the best to post to Neatorama. If the concept of net neutrality were done away with, you might not even be able to access Neatorama, because we aren’t a large media corporation able to grease the provider’s palms. And if we were, you’d probably have to pay to cover those expenses.
In this video, CGP Grey compares the internet to utilities and roads, and what would happen if they were treated the way some providers want to refashion the internet. The U.S. already has slower broadband than most of the rest of the developed world, at higher prices. It could get worse if we don’t speak out now. -via Viral Viral Videos
The WiFi at my favorite lunch place blocks anything except Web Pages and E-Mail.
While I support Net Neutrality, I wonder what we should do about this sort of filtering.
Yes I understand that I have a warranty of service, a slow but constant and fair upload speed. But couldn't that be faster without the freeloaders around me?
So yes, I'd like a little bit of broadband to be not neutral.
Even if it's slowing my Neatorama browsing @ home.
Business vs Pleasure?
