In Nederland? I only heard these stories from the USA, and then specifically about monopoly ISPs with Netflix as trial target to see if they can get extra money from them
- jeroenhd 3y agoWe're safe from this nonsense here in the Netherlands ever since KPN tried to blocked Skype on their network and upset legilators, and the EU has had net neutrality law for a while now. However, with most of the internet being developed over in the USA, the internet as a whole gets better with these features. I haven't caught any real ISP here (only train/public WiFi). I don't trust Dutch ISPs to follow the law so I do run these checks every now and then. At least one American mobile carrier overtly advertises "5G" with "unlimited data" followed by "DVD quality (480p) standard" video quality, but not every carrier in every country will be that direct.
