We voted net neutrality into the Whitehouse, now's the time for them to start taking action.]]>Jan 29th 2009 9:48AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/
Policy like this opens the flood gates for ISPs to prioritize their bandwidth to select content providers. And by "select" I mean, "the ones who pay said ISP an incentive donation." Frankly, I think that kind of business should be illegal - right along with the lobbyists.
It's on the new administration's shoulders now.. Where's our net neutrality!?

Now, they come up with a business model that ignores reality.

Go figure.

Scumbags.

Then again I think that it depends on what area you're in too. My service is great, but that might have something to do with the fresh fiber they laid..]]>Jan 29th 2009 12:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/

I already use QoS in my company so important apps get pushed first and my response from people so far has been they really enjoy it. Video conferencing and gotomypc have been stabilized since we applied the new policy. ]]>Jan 29th 2009 2:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/Jan 29th 2009 3:19PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/

Now the notion of caps does not make sense. This will only lessen the development or adoption of innovative content. I believe the idea of caps is in place more to protect the providers content rather than the limiting of their bandwidth. If you were Cox or Comcast with VOD services would you want your customer using Netflix? Youtube just added HD Video which is a great service providing the end user a better experience but the file sizes will be larger.. limiting downloads will only place limits on innovation.]]>Jan 29th 2009 7:13PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/01/29/cox-follows-comcast-down-the-data-discrimination-road/Verizon's limit is 5 gig's

They admit it too! and they even threatened me to kick me out from Verizon if I don't stop using so much bandwith.

What i'm doing.. I'm not gonna pay for 2 months which will ad up $120. I simply won't pay it.
They eventually gonna report it on my credit, but I can easily dispute it during holiday busy season and have it cleared. I WIN!! and Teach them a lesson!!!]]>Feb 1st 2009 1:10AM
