I don't think your second premise is entirely true, since Comcast doesn't provide enough bandwidth for streaming services like Netflix and YouTube already. Those services are going to become harder and harder to use if anything.
- mkr-hn 13y agoI have no problem with Netflix on Comcast's lowest tier. 6mbps, 10 TV channels.
- doubt_me 13y agoLiterally the same situation here. No throttling yet I just hope it doesn't take 10 years for fiber to get to Chicago
- mkr-hn 13y agoThe presence of AT&T and Windstream probably keeps the local form of Comcast from falling too far.
- Killswitch 13y agoThat's good to hear, I just moved to Chicago and my biggest fear was using these big named companies because of all the horror stories.
- jonknee 13y agoThis would be a perfect point for the regulators to harp on for approval... No need to divest, just require a condition of the sale to provide a neutral network.
