Reason To Hope Carriers Won't Win the War On Netflix

Posted by timothy on from the but-the-skirmishing-will-continue dept.

Nemo the Magnificent writes "A few days ago we talked over a post by David Raphael accusing Verizon of slowing down Netflix, by way of throttling Amazon AWS. Now Jonathan Feldman gives us reason to believe that the carriers won't win the war on Netflix, because tools for monitoring the performance of carriers will emerge nd we'll catch them if they try. I just now exercised one such tool, NetNeutralityTest.com from Speedchedker Ltd. My carrier is Verizon (FiOS), and the test showed my download speed at the moment to be 12 Mbps. It was the same to Linode in NJ but only 3 Mbps to AWS East. Hmm."

    Why isn't the Japanese Slashdot afflicted with Beta? We all need to learn Japanese.

    I'd fuck beta. Actually, I'd fuck anything with a hole at this point. So sad that my life has come down to this :(
