You mean like increased Netflix prices due to being charged both for my Comcast service and my Comcast usage via Netflix?
I'm still waiting for my better internet service too... That never seemed to materialize after getting rid of net neutrality.
- edmundsauto 3y agoWasn’t the increased Netflix price because they realized they weren’t charging the maximum the market would bear?
- behringer 3y agodefinitely not. It's due to net neutrality being thrown out under Trump and Ajit Pai. Even under the fair market, you would hardly call it fair, taking money from your customers to give them access to service providers, and taking money from your customer's service providers to allow them access to your customer... it doesn't make sense. It was a shakedown plain and simple.
- scrps 3y agoNot sure at netflix scale if NN really affected them iirc netflix does most everything on the edge, I doubt most of your netflix traffic even left comcast's network other than maybe auth data. Not saying you are wrong about cost increases in general, I think it probably had more of an impact on more up and coming services who might not have the funds to ship out a ton of edge servers.
