    Ouch!

    Never heard of neocities. I guess they got some free publicity.

    How much extra will Denny have to pay to keep this site fast? I feel sorry for the deluded self-destructive big spender.

    Unfortunately, 2/3 of all internet traffic isn't this site.

    The big guys have basically broken the little guys all along. "Net neutrality" (there never was such a thing) didn't stop that.

    I was going to ask in the LSD thread if your last trip ever ended.

    Did your last campaign contribution to Republicans end your common sense? Why do you want ISPs to charge you extra to maintain the same speed as the big boys?

    It is now law that companies like Comcast can charge services like Netflix more money if Netflix wants the fastest possible internet speeds for their customers. Otherwise they can "throttle" the speeds to specific internet services like Hulu. AKA it's now legal to price gouge if you're a big internet company.

    We don't need special access to have fast WWW pages. In fact, netflix piping their movies directly onto a dedicated network will free up mucho bandwidth for sites like S2.

    Learn the tech then post?

    Comcast wasn't throttling anyone. They just weren't motivated to buying and building bigger and faster general purpose internet connections that only netflix and YouTube benefit from.

    It's called business. As the internet has always done business.

    The truth is that if each of these companies did not have their own competitive video service, they would have gladly ushered in Netflix to make its connections for free. Video travelling straight from the Netflix CDN to the digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAMs) and cable modem termination systems (CMTS) of these two tier 1 players, will relieve their own network of the effort of carrying all that video traffic in the core.

    So in effect these deals are a slap in the face of net neutrality sup-porters, but at the same time Netflix needs to deliver quality video, in particular to customers who have top end pay TV services, otherwise its outputs would compare badly.

    --- Free Market at work ---

    Initially both Verizon and Comcast refused to sign up to Netflix’s Open Connect CDN service, which would allow the ISPs direct access to the CDN free of charge. Cablevision signed up to Open Connect and saw its Netflix speed rating increase without having to pay for the benefit – whereas Comcast and Verizon are demanding the opposite by charging Netflix to provide a better service to Netflix customers on their networks.
