OT Net Neutrality

How do you support the goal of demanding no throttling

I think it's called auto pilot now

Taking the handcuffs off isn't going to improve the system.

In theory, an open market should stimulate growth and improvement, right?

Well, these companies don't WANT an open market. They're spending money on buying off politicians and fighting competition, rather than spending money on improving infrastructure. They're trying to take us back in time to data caps and paying more for less, rather than upgrade their equipment.

To support an unknown demand for one a common price regardless of cost?
No way can that be workable.

California is going to show the way. The CalNet way.

Of course nobody says how they can do it.

Bandon has trans pacific cable. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard to get high speed internet. You need to talk to your elected representatives.

Yes, they have pretty good internet system in the City of Bandon and the Golf course. The surround area is serviced by Frontier with the state of art early 20th century phone service with DSL superimposed on the copper cable. It is suppose to work on one line but it don't so most people have to put in two lines to eliminate the cross chatter. Spendy stuff when you count it all up.

I sort of planned ahead a bit when I built the house. Put in several lines to the pole and to the house from the pole. So when frontier hooked me up they told me is would suck on one line, but I said go ahead, it's ok. So they did. When truck left, I just move the wire to the second line I already had wired to the house. Works as well as 3meg speed will. Hell the federal tax on the second line is damn near $10. An that is another problem with getting Internet from the phone company, you get taxed like it is a phone.

Have I bitched enough yet?

You ain't seen the hardware Frontier has. There ain't no new shit!!!

Thank god the Poles are red cedar. I expect they will out last the hardware.

One can only hope!

I could've upgraded my internet years before I thought I could....keep checking...

Everytime I leave the place to go anywhere, I drive by 2 miles of those cedar poles holding those ancient wires. I am pretty sure I will catch a clue when they upgrade something. A soon as Verizon puts an LTE transmitter in Bandon, it will be screw Frontier.
Maybe even if they lower the price on 3G.

I never understood why people download so much. Ill stream a movie or radio but hardly ever download content.

Back to the real issue, porn is free on the internet and you have nerds everywhere with empty dick beaters terrified they will have to go back to getting a magazine once a month or some archaic type of jerk
