[QUOTE=tirpider;43819581]Sign a petition to save the internet? sure. Join a militia and pick a fight with tha man to preserve it? naw. I'd just stop paying for it.[/QUOTE] Hahaha this is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. You can't stop paying for it because the internet is part of your life now, you know you're addicted to it and I bet if you lived without it for a month you'd be crying like a baby. You can't even apply for a job without the internet.
For fuck's sake FCC, come down hard on these assholes.
A news article about netflix being slowed down and within a few posts there is mention of a civil war.
It seems that Charter isn't throttling at all, lucky me I guess
[QUOTE=FFStudios;43835883]i dunno guys i've had FiOS Quantum for about two years now and i have watched netflix almost every night since then and i haven't noticed a slowdown, really. the first 45-60 seconds of a show might be low quality but it boosts up after that and is fine for anything after that small buffer zone [editline]8th February 2014[/editline] i should clarify that i also have FiOS Quantum 75/25 plan, maybe that makes a difference[/QUOTE] As a post in the first page showed, this could just happen to be a bad route path from the one guy, but I'm going to assume Verizon is making this happen. It's probably like when comcast rolls out changes, each 'sector' of the network gets them at different times; Verizon might just be waiting to make the changes on your service.

Using that Net Neutrality Test site thing, it seems none of my connections to AWS servers goes above 5.25 MB/s, whereas non-AWS servers peaks at 11.33 MB/s so fuck you fairpoint.[/QUOTE] Remember that distance and route load can also affect speed. Try downloading from multiple providers: [url]http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/1GB.zip[/url] This is CloudFlare, so it should be on a global CDN network - When I tested most had up to at-least 500 Mbit/s caps.
