Am I the only one that doesn't eat poop as you talk about it so freely?

AT&T should have been closed down as soon as it was found they spied illegally on half the US population, and hearing what dark sides they are on since nicely drives that home.
Good job giving them immunity obama, you're certainly showing us a new america.

Couldn't agree more mate.

I read an article about a year ago that said the new CEO of Virgin Media thinks that sites like bbc.co.uk should pay him for their content to be delivered on his network quicker than others' websites, and that they should pay him for the wonderful iPlayer clogging up his network.

The only reason I am still with them is because it's better than paying Murdoch for TV. Very seriously thinking about getting TalkTalk (never thought I'd say that!) after their efforts to stop uber-nazi-not-labour Mandleson and his corporate chums the other day!

If ISP sells you a unlimited plan then this is what its name says unlimited, if you pay for 50 GB then you know how much you can download. Please dont sell me a "unlimited" plan with limit (false advertising). It is problem of ISP that they were greedy and sold too much of unlimited access only to find out that infrastructure is not capable off supporting it, big plans of Managers for even bigger premiums at the end of a fiscal Year.

For Pete's sake. There is nothing intrinsically evil about traffic shaping. It makes sure that your interactive processes don't suffer because Timmy next door is downloading the "special" version of The Little Mermaid.

Uh... what's an Interactive process? Well, in my case, secure shell, but for the Internet Generation: World of Warcraft and other on-line games where every millisecond of lag is a nail in your coffin. Right? Right.

So now you add the accursed politicians and the greedy sods. The greedy sods want to sell better performance. The politicians don't generally have a clue of technical issues and either push for, to get a finger in the pie, or push against, because they want lots of nice voters.

So now, performance depends on political issues rather than technical ones. Thank you very much for buggering up the net, you bastards.

Net neutrality is like poop. Eat it.

nECrO, I couldn't agree with you more.

Our FTC (Federal trade Commission)can't see a case for monopoly abuse against Intel and we let the RIAA and MPAA sway our politicians to police the internet to uphold their out-of-date business model, but we look to be gettting at least this right.

Comcast and AT&T want control to assure quality like I want to win the lottery so I can donate the money to charity. If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you....
