is this discussion missing the important distinction between QoS and bandwidth limiting? I can certainly agree emergency communications warrant better QoS guarantees than a netflix stream; it's probably not a big deal if your stream drops more packets than usual, but it matters a lot for real-time communication. if we're talking about throttling connections, OP of this thread has a good point. if you want to keep people cooped up in their houses indefinitely, you gotta throw them a bone of some sort. throttling their netflix stream is going to piss people off, and at the margins, people might just say fuck it and go outside.
