No thread about Netflix getting blackmailed by the Comcast mob? (1 Viewer)

Seems like a pretty big deal.

Boardwalk and Park Place need to be changed to Comcast and Comcast Place.

Sickening.

Yeah, but they just have to mention that their cable installers want to unionize and then they'll get everyone backing them and all their greedy maneuvers.

Once Net Neutrality died, this really just becomes legal business. You want the speed? You pay for it. No doubt this will lower everyone's internet bill...

This will continue to get worse until Net Neutrality legislation is passed again.

Internet providers are getting people coming and going, its ridiculous to expect customers to pay for internet access and also have websites pay for those same customers traffic.
