Hopefully this hasn’t been posted. I can’t get the drat song out of my head, so maybe it’s a smart move in marketing? I don’t know. Here’s a song about your pet’s poop. https://youtu.be/byHMEtt0n5s

The Netflix and Facebook prices aren't additional, they're alternatives if you only want those sites rather than the full package. Reading is hard.

Waffleman_ posted:The Netflix and Facebook prices aren't additional, they're alternatives if you only want those sites rather than the full package. It scans as 'Facebook - only 8.99/mo!' rather than 'Facebook only - 8.99/mo!' because of the way those lines are separated.

And that’s not even considering that the upper half shows net neutrality as a very expensive funnel whereas without you‘d have the same bandwidth for each activity.

Honestly, slogan aside, the Transformers don't really do a lot to disguise themselves in their car modes. Optimus Prime, in vehicle mode, is still a fuckin' Peterbilt truck painted like a colorblind Smurf that yells poo poo out in an incredibly deep voice.

Also I can't use HBO Go on some platforms specifically because Comcast would rather I use their lovely on-demand products (which I imagine cost them less in bandwidth). 5g mobile internet can't get here fast enough.

Boywhiz88 posted:Lmao if you think mobile data isn’t going to be more locked down than Comcast. Mobile providers are going to want to get that home internet market and will offer something competitive. It won't be price competitive (at least not initially) so they'll have to compete on features. At the very least it's competition. I can choose exactly one internet provider right now that doesn't suck and that's Comcast, which just sucks in a different way.

Also, people actually have access to more than one mobile service, as opposed to one or two broadband ISPs in a single area, so there's less of a monopoly.

How big is the monthly data quota for mobile and internet service providers in the US? My Malaysian mobile service just gave me 100gb for video streaming (including Youtube) on top of the 60gb for data, and I'm wondering if this is something people see in other countries too.

In the US the mobile data typically includes video and audio, it's not separate categories. I get 5 gigs from T-Mobile. My home internet Fiber service is unlimited.

# ? Nov 27, 2017 15:09 |

Wait, mobile services in some countries separate video and other data? In Finland we generally get unlimited data with any even slightly better package.

I know that in some countries like Australia that they don't have net neutrality. So ISPs will offer a limited amount of bandwidth per month but for certain specific services like Steam or iTunes they will offer unlimited service. It's a nightmare scenario and I'm afraid the US will follow in their footsteps.

Andrast posted:Wait, mobile services in some countries separate video and other data? They consider it as a 'bonus' extra for people using their service. Once your video (or Facebook or music streaming) data runs out they will use your normal data quota. Unlimited data is mostly for wired or fiber internet services in homes and offices. There's a few unlimited data mobile services in my country but I hear they're not very good.

The weirdest thing about the whole net neutrality thing going on right now is how the underdog types in the fight are still super wealthy corporations like Google and Facebook.

It's basically Google and Amazon vs Verizon and AT&T. And I dunno about you, but one of those sides has the literal richest person in the world on it.
