Re: [ Extreme] Rogers Throttling encrypted traffic (HTTPS)
IMO, this would be a major step back in the evolution
of the internet. Don't kid yourself, all the ISP's
know what people use hi-speed for. For reading e-mails
and watching TSN's page load faster? No.
I hope our big ISP's don't mind majorly lowering their
internet prices, should they totally block our access
to other forms of downloadable content.Not all people are
bandwidth hogs. Some people take a little.Some people
take a lot. All that needed to be enforced was the cap,
which they implemented.
This would be like going back to the dial up days.And, if
all these thing to stop net neutrality happens, I'd expect to be paying dial-up
prices for whatever I can do with dial-up service.
There would be no point in even subscribing to HS. |

Just because I send an MP3 player by UPS doesn't mean that UPS owns the player nor that they have the right to see what MP3's are on the player.
All UPS needs to know is that the product being transported meets the transportation requirements, they don't own the product in transport nor do they have the right to breach my privacy and "inspect" and judge the information on the player.
All the Telecom Carrier needs to do is sell an Internet connection with a specific speed of Mbps and with how much Bandwidth per month. If they have issues with that then if should be clearly specified and labeled accordingly. |
