What if Comcast ruled the world?

What if Comcast ruled the world?Net Neutrality and you

What is it?Net Neutrality means that essentially all traffic on the internet gets the same treatment.

What is internet traffic made of?Netflix, lots and lots of Netflix.

Why is Netflix so slow?Until recently, Netflixs speed index ranked Comcast one of the worst (#13) for watching Netflix.Now, after Netflix has paid Comcast a giant sum of money, speeds have tripled. (23 Feb 2014)Since this has happened, Verizon has come out and said that he expects Netflix to pay them for better streaming as well.Dont Believe Me?

Whats so bad about that?If Netflix is expected to make a deal with every ISP, then most likely prices will go up for us, the consumer.No real fundamental changes had to be made to their network in order for this to happen.Whats stopping the ISPs from say throttling Youtube or Twitch?ISPs cant do this for free things right?They could just as easily do this

I know Im picking on Comcast butThey are not the only ones who love the idea of no Net NeutralityVerizon and ATT does too.Verizon used the first ruling for NN to throttle things like Amazons AWS.ATT has been pretty quiet, but introduced Sponsored Data

To make matters worseComcast is poised to buy Time Warner Cable, creating a cable super power.Ill just write the FCC!Hahahahaahahaha.HAHAHAHAHAHA*breathes*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Who is this?Attwell Baker, Former FCC CommishFormer? Where is she now?Funny you should ask, shes at Comcast!She also approved the NBC/Comcast deal!

What can we do about it?Go to savetheinternet.com, sign the petition, call the FCC!The FCC just finished turning heel on the whole Net Neutrality issue. (23 April 2014).They will allow for Comcast and others to charge content makers for an internet fast lane.No one everI, for one, welcome our big network overlords. null1227.7546nullBlues1854.6931
