MiddleClass IluvMoney (banned) Member Way too soon to evaluate effects of new rules took effect at midnight last night and so far, nothing appears to have exploded. The rubber meets the road over months/years as the FCC starts to deal with complaints and issuing rulings against specific targets. Did anyone really expect anything would take place the 1st day? openbox9

Then you acting foolish. The results, real, planned and unintended, will not be known for years. Nobody with an ounce of common sense expected the internet to shut down at 12:01AM today even assuming all the worst outcomes.

IowaCowboy Premium Member My Slingbox is working better Two weeks ago I was having issues with buffering on my Slingbox (Slingbox is on Comcast, iPhone is on Verizon) and I'm using them both in the same place I was at the last time (Baystate Medical Center).



Not as much buffering but I had to turn off LTE because of poor in building reception but the 3G EVDO/CDMA is great. amungus

Netflix is paying for transit from the likes of Comcast and Verizon just like they were paying for transit from the likes of Level 3, NTT, XO, Zayo, TeliaSonera, and so on. They never paid for a fast lane - prioritization over other traffic.

Also, NN doesn't prevent CDNs from buying transit directly from ISPs, CDNs can still buy from whoever they want. Technically it's not a "fast lane" as Comcast isn't slowing down other video providers' traffic or making NF exempt from caps.Also, NN doesn't prevent CDNs from buying transit directly from ISPs, CDNs can still buy from whoever they want.

Purcellville, VA Zenit Premium Member Re: So Netflix doesn't pay? Exactly - CC and Netflix peer with eachother. Buying transit directly from a last mile ISP helps reduce load on the overall backbone.



Large content providers SHOULD seek arrangements like this to make their customer experience better. Apple, MS, etc. should all peer directly with the top regional ISP's in addition to the Tier 1 backbone providers.



The Tier 1's will breathe a sigh of relief as they avoid the exaflood or whatever Cisco is calling it now. praetoralpha

Or was it all Big Networking marketing trying to sell more stuff? I'm not so sure, because Big Networking doesn't care about Big ISP capping connections (which was a big push with the exaflood panic). Was it really Cisco that was panicking about that? If I remember, it was analysts and consultants that got their panties in an uproar.Or was it all Big Networking marketing trying to sell more stuff?

» Correct it was a guy from the Discovery Institute who read a Cisco white paper and interpolated it as Exaflood:the end of times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Di ··· nstitute has lead the charge on a number of falshoods for the easily panic'd such as Inteligent Design (creationism as science) that end up debunked AFTER the fundraising is over.

@teksavvy.com Flyonthewall Anon Use this time as evidence in court By the time this goes to trial, evidence that it has done NOTHING to impede ISPs should be used to prove they are full of it.

@mchsi.com a guy Anon Is this "damned it you do damned if you don't"? I'm hearing that with net neutrality now we'll start to see new small fees (very likely if the senate doesn't pass a bill against that) but if we let verizon have its way then they and the other isps would have screwed us the same way but now with slower speeds for sites not connected to making them profits. Can anyone correct me?
