The ISP can still tell where the data is coming from/to and how much of it there is. Encryption is not a solution to the threats against net neutrality.

- mey 16y agoEntirely valid point, but there are ways to handle that as well (tor networks come to mind), but it does devolve into an arm's race. Where each side is spending more time/energy protecting or cracking a packet to charge it at a specific rate.
- jacquesm 16y agoIf you think a party the size of netflix is going to use the likes of tor to stream their video I suggest you use tor right now and try to view a netflix movie through it.
- ZachPruckowski 16y ago"there are ways to handle that as well (tor networks come to mind)" That's not a viable solution. Unless the TorProject has made MASSIVE gains since last I checked, it's simply not viable for low-latency or high-bandwidth use. It's not like everyone on Comcast could feasibly switch to getting their Netflix through Tor.
- danielnicollet 16y agotor just doesn't cut it. I have tried to use or similar services like yourfreedom.net with VPN (german tor) but there is no way to stream even half-way decent video through these... They usually top around 350 kb and you need at least twice that to start to stream well.
