| vote with your money P2P crap should be throttled, I don't care if file sharing gets 500ms of latency, but I DO care if my VoIP call gets 500ms of latency. Network neutrality basically outlaws QOS. Or if you gamers out there want your games not to constantly lag while you hit the network with P2P traffic, you better think hard about this.
If an ISP is blocking your traffic, well then switch ISPs, vote with your dollars, and stop giving up freedoms to the heavy handed government. |

| What ISP are you using? I get 20ms pings with P2P completely inactive, and "huge" 50ms pings with P2P running at full blast. Long live independent cable providers that run a robust network and have no need for QoS.

Network Neutrality doesn't outlaw QOS. (unless you're listening to people who truly don't understand it) It simply requires network managers to treat all protocol type's the same, REGARDLESS of their creator. So all VOIP is treated equally, regardless if you're selling it, or someone else is. All P2P can be throttled, but you can't sell uber P2P service that isn't throttled. etc. |

| The problem is that do you think the government(aka the ones who are actually enforcing this) understand that? I think not. |

North Andover, MA | There's nothing to enforce. There's no law outlining how networks using public resources are required to run. Except that they get certain immunities if they don't do things. But it's all very broad. |
