For those of you that don't know..Net neutrality is a way to keep the internet available for all people, without worries that your ISP provider will cut youtube, microsoft, yahoo or even google from your computer. (including several other websites)

Comcast has been in a never ending battle in court against the FCC and individuals for violating the net neutrality rules and well. the FCC has made it official, they will regulate Net Neutrality and all ISP providers cannot and will not cut any website, nor will they limit your bandwidth if you visit say google vs. Microsoft bing.

I haven't read anything about this yet being included in the Net Neutrality Rules...but as far as I know your ISP provider can limit your bandwidth (downloading) of Torrents through bit torrent or utorrent(or another torrent provider) by allowing no more than 24kbps...if you see that when downloading anything on torrent, chances are you're being limited. But since FCC announced Net neutrality lives on, then I am thinking an ISP can no longer control torrent bandwidth.

What do you guys and gals think?

I think that is awesome

I didn't know that internet providers were limiting internet access to certain sites.

that has been in the news a bit

they have to pay for the bandwidth and certain internet providers (Comcast was one) were caught limiting bandwith on people who thought they were paying for unlimited bandwith. on stuff like downloading music and movies. if I remember right they were fined by the FTC or the FCC for it

I don't watch the news... so I don't catch everything.

I have att as a provider. I pay for the 'fastest' speed. And I don't appear to have any problems. *shrugs shoulders*

btw you can test your internet speed here

exactly

I got those from a tech rep when I was watching Sunday Night Football and wasnt getting the streaming good enough and complained to NBC about it

Can it vary by computer ... cause I am definately am paying about $10-15 more than what I am getting. (and on the att website of course it says 'up to'. And I am on a wireless router, does that effect speed?

Network neutrality (also net neutrality, Internet neutrality) is a principle proposed for residential broadband networks and potentially for all networks. A neutral broadband network is one that is free of restrictions on content, sites, or platforms, on the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and on the modes of communication allowed, as well as one where communication is not unreasonably degraded by other communication streams.[1][2][3]

The principle states that if a given user pays for a certain level of internet access, and another user pays for a given level of access, that the two users should be able to connect to each other at that given rate of access.

Though the term did not enter popular use until several years later, since the early 2000s advocates of net neutrality and associated rules have raised concerns about the ability of broadband providers to use their last mile infrastructure to block Internet applications and content (e.g. websites, services, protocols); particularly those of competitors. In the US particularly, but elsewhere as well, the possibility of regulations designed to mandate the neutrality of the Internet has been subject to fierce debate.
