Wake up! Time to fly!
This is gonna be a live one so please stay on topic and be civil.
I have not been a fan of google EVER but that abhorration has recently been enhanced by google flexing its net netrality muscles recently.
I have had to cancel internet and switch to a walmart burner phone for communications. Straight talk is a crappy service on its best day but google has now put it on its non approved service list.
What this means is straight talk is not paying googles extrotion fee for access.
What it means for end users... in my case in recent weeks I went from watching a you tube video with one or two load stops.
Today it took over 15 minutes to load Foamys new 2 minute video which is how I found out about googles "approved" list. I thought it was tstorms the other night that caused me to take 7+ hours to upload a 435 meg video that should have taken less then 7 minutes.
Anyway the reason for the thread is to see how many people would be willing to step up and nip this crap in the bud by uniting in protest to these new buisness methods.
If people do not step up now this WILL trickle down to everyone in added costs to phone and internet services as providers will pass those added costs on to us the end users.
You all have seen how cable companies have jacked prices up with these very same tactics and buissness practices.
So if you want to keep watching video on the internet in general its time to gather our collective rubber bands in a mass army to go fight godzilla.
