Re: Don't mess with my connection.

I don't think they're going to try the things you mention - interfering with searches, purchases etc.. From what I've read in the articles about this, it seems they're going to inspect packets for the actual files.

To the grandparent poster's question, I wonder how it will affect connections. If they split the stream and inspect a copy while letting the original packets go thru, it would not slow things at all. If they are intecepting and literally filtering, it would be make the whole internet service sluggish.

Virus scanning servers that do this for companies add around 20ms of extra latency. So people web surfing probably wont notice a thing. Gamers wont be happy though. The problem is these fall apart when the files being scanned get into the GB range. Maybe they will have some smart way of doing it with a smaller set of information.
