I truly appreciate that this is being publicized complete with evidence, but has the author also written a letter to the FCC and other relevant bodies to complain about this behaviour and offer their supporting evidence? I'm concerned that people will feel placated by writing a blog post, when I think we need to be communicating more directly with the FCC.

The Network Neutrality comment period is over. How does one make a late comment stand out in the midst of 3.7 million received within the specified period? https://twitter.com/fcc_cio/status/511988876974784512 https://twitter.com/fcc_cio/status/511988876974784512

Did you read whole article? This wasn't the author but to answer your question, yes, people have contacted the FCC. "“You know, I contacted the FCC. I contacted the [state] utilities commission, just for help because you couldn’t make any ground with Verizon, Cogent, or anyone,”..."

  Can anyone with knowledge of Citrix speak to this: > Because Boegly uses a Citrix application for payroll data, and “Citrix doesn’t like packet loss,” according to Boegly, the process was failing. ... > “Any time you have packet loss over a Citrix connection, it’s going to dump you,” says Boegly. “And that’s exactly what’s happening in the middle of the process. It has to then be started all over again and then begin the transfer process to get it to connect.” If accurate, it sounds less than optimal.

    Enterprisey protocols are so bad that there's a whole industry of WAN optimization to unbreak them.

    Pretty sure this is straight-up TCP behavior, possibly combined with trying to send large files inside the TCP connection via the Citrix protocol. If you consistently lose some percentage of packets for a while, the TCP connection can drop. The file transfer doesn't have auto-resume built in because it operates at a very low level.
