Has this actually happened somewhere?Large Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have degraded the performance of their customer’s traffic as a tactic to convince content and application providers to pay added “tolls” to deliver content that Internet users have already requested and paid for.

I mean the part about throttling speeds in order to extort more money from content providers as stated by the guys that host that link?Leisher wrote:Long answer short: Yes.
I caught mine being throttled, or to be fair: "not working correctly", Monday night. I should have 90MB down and I was noticing stuttering while watching game play videos on Steam. I used that tool and found it at 6 MB. This was during primetime, and for the next hour or two it was like that. Later in the night, after midnight, it was back to 90.
This will be interesting to watch.Leisher wrote: Montana says no to ISPs that don't abide by Net Neutrality. They also tell other states to follow suit.
I am for this, more or less, but I really wish we could ban states from preventing municipal ISPs as well.Leisher wrote: Senate vote coming next week to overturn the FCC's ruling.
I am SHOCKED. SHOCKED I say.Leisher wrote: The FCC's ruling on Net Neutrality gets even more controversial. The DDOS attacks on their site THEY reported never happened.
So a government agency completely ignored the people, lied to the people, and voted against the best interests of the people. You think anyone in Congress will do anything or even do their bullshit dog and pony show to pretend like they're doing something?
