| Re: This is one of the many reasons said by en102  :Almost makes me think of AOL. Here's the Internet that we think you want to see/view. Anything else is deemed bad/illegal. Great analogy. Take it one step further once the practice is established. The ISPs extort money from smaller web apps to be "verified" through their filter system.
Do you still think broadband is a privalege, and if so, are you happy with this type of topic? | |

| Re: This is one of the many reasons That's how the wireless version works.... no streaming unless its provided by our content providers (i.e. companies that pay us money ... and we charge money from customers as well as ad providers).
Money from every direction. Anything that doesn't pay or become 'approved' is deemed to be pirate and violates TOS.

| i am disgusted by this sniffling and putting a break on our broadband.

notice how they all spell your name in all caps
JOHN DOE or JANE DOE
Its on your DL, Birth Certificate and SS as well
If you really own yourself then it would be spelled
John Doe since that represent a person and not a corp aka strawman, not alive. | |

| Yeah, great choices eh?
AT&T with their NSA/Filter/blocking on one side.
COX on the other with their oh-so-generous 40GB per month data transfer cap. I guess most COX users are "Bandwidth Hogs" eh?
I'm tired of being the football to be punted around. I'd like some real service, real options, and real technology for my real money these companies keep taking.
