Like I could try to explain to him that that scenario is exactly what happened and what we want to continue to happen but I don't think they'd listen to me

Shaggar posted:the Netflix customers want that traffic. not all Comcast customers are Netflix customers and it would be wrong of Comcast to charge all Comcast customers for the usage of just the Netflix customers. the final result of all of this is that the Netflix customers who wanted the upgrades got the upgrades and they(through Netflix) paid for them. This is correct and fair. yes let's make the Internet like cable where you have to buy certain packages to get "premium" channels that sounds lovely hey let's do it with cell phones too you can only call 911 if you have the emergency package

Necc0 posted:it just means they're not allowed to say 'UNLIMITED DATA' when they don't actually mean that at all I am sure it will have to play out in court but what I wonder is if this will prevent cable companies from exempting their own video on demand streaming systems from the caps if they use iptv to do it. right now if you have U-verse the bandwidth used for the tv video streams don't count against your 250gb cap despite coming over the same DSL data link. and just about every provider has a live TV or video on demand ipad app now.

So if data caps aren't impacted, how is this going to make the internet fall apart like shaggar says it will? Won't the people that binge at 1080p and torrent blu ray all day and night pay more for their access to the network?

RE: AT&T, IPTV and U-Verse data caps: I'd doubt it would impact it. There is nothing inter about at&t iptv. It starts and ends completely on at&ts network.

Just talked to my dad (cable splicer). He said typically there is one CO per city that uverse comes into from dedicated fiber. It branches out to the other COs, and then to the VRADS. It is more or less completely private and never touches the internet. It is completely separate up until the last mile. It doesn't come out of the COs because AT&T does not want to resell it as they are required to do with pots/dsl.

Shaggar posted:you will pay through increased ISP subscription costs. however, its still highly likely that this just causes ISPs to abandon new infrastructure improvements at their edges. either way its a terrible day for the internet. My township owns and operates it's own non-profit fiberoptic ISP. 😅 And now this law made it so other towns and county's can follow suit, despite state laws that barred it in favor of large Telecom oligarchy.
