Same problem exists in France with the "Free" (actual business name) ISP.
It's a large ISP here, and it throttles access to youtube (and probably other content providers). It has been so for years. For some reason, there is no public awareness about that, people just say "my internet is not working well".
It's an act of aggression against their customers, to me, since all ISPs are marketing their offers around connection speed. And it's violating net neutrality, too. I don't get how it does not become a major PR problem for ISPs doing that.
- liotier 13y agoNot just Iliad's Free - I know first hand that others admit internally that they are doing it too... But they choose to let Free be publicly vocal about it while they are just as violent behind closed doors.
- oelmekki 13y agoYes, I've heard some vague reports from others ISP users too, but not anything I have measured of even just experienced first hand. That's the reason why I've switched to the new ISP services from ovh, though, as they made net neutrality their first marketing point (but for the same price, you don't have tv, if that matters).
