- jaywalk 5y agoThis is almost certainly the main driver.

- rolobio 5y agoI've always wondered if you could start a internet speed testing website, get in the trusted list of companies like T-Mobile. Then release a VPN on the exact same servers, forcing the companies to provide the best speed to the VPN. Only problem is that you would have to be large enough that the ISPs would care if their scores looked bad.
- jedberg 5y agoThis is basically what Netflix did. They launched fast.com, which comes off the same servers as Netflix video. The whole goal was to get people to call their ISP and complain they aren't getting the speeds they paid for and getting them to unthrottle Netflix.
