content: You're fucking stupid.  Netflix throttles themselves unless you pay them more.  @kleyno you are close to the problem.  1- The gov't let places like Verizon and ATT make agreements to stay out of eachothers markets, creating a monopoly in the areas.  2- The gov't then stops anyone from using their infrastructure, which makes it almost impossible for anyone else. 3- The gov't also REFUSES in most cases to build their own networks for their residents (places that do this have wild success, but ISP block it in lobbying. Also, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, NETFLIX etc... are BIGGER PROBLEMS than the ISP.  Look at all the censorship in the last two years!  Even if this slow down bullshit is true (it isnt)  would you rather have slow internet or "approved by google jews" internet?
