it's ironic that as much as yosposters hate google they're perfectly happy to subsidize its business model through supporting net neutrality regulations

DEHUMANIZE  YOURSELF  &  FACE  TO  BLACULA
Amidst all the talk of foul play with Level 3, little attention has surrounded Comcast’s relationship with Tata Communications, which I consider to be a far more egregious violation of their stated principles on Net Neutrality. As was the case with Level 3, Comcast purchases commodity IP transit service from Tata, as a means of reaching networks it doesn’t maintain direct peering relationships with. Unlike Level 3 though, Comcast runs its ports to Tata at capacity, deliberately, as a means of degrading connectivity to networks which won’t peer with them or pay them money.
