apparently comcast has been testing throttling youtube and some other sites in anticipation of dead-net neutrality

like people have reported them going at like 10kbps and then getting on a vpn and going zippityfast (this was over the weekenda nd before the whole L3 thing)

That can just as easily come from congested routes and standard fuckups. If Comcast is going to do some kind of packet shaping I would expect them to throttle it down to maybe 1mbit so HD streams don't work right but SD does and then implement some kind of HD video add-on to their internet service. Completely killing the link doesn't make sense from a business standpoint

when the only alternative to comcast is 10 GB of hughes net for 50 bucks, killing youtube entirely and then adding it back as a 20/mo upgrade makes big league sense.

As someone deeply involved with both L3 and CTL on the enterprise level lmbo at this entire thing. I was also around for the L3 buyout of Global Crossing and the subsequent merger of those 2 networks, it was a complete shitshow. I am expecting nothing less from the CTL and L3 network merger.

you will know when it is a real conspiracy and not merely a fuckup, because Comcast will tell you. over and over. by every available medium.

endless phone calls, flyers, tv spots, and canvassing to get you to choose from their many exciting new content plans

hey guys i just had some downtime (ha ha!) to do some work on my standup routine. hope you like it because either way we'll all be dead one day and nothing matters.

i heard century link sucks dog dicks so hard the dog has to go to the vet

i heard ted centurylink once tried to rape and murder a series of teenage girls, but he failed at peering

i was over at the home depot the other day and there was a ratty pickup truck with tinted windows circling the lot looking for any mexicans that knew BGP

i heard century link tried to diversify their business into euthanizing dogs at the vet but they had to stop because the guy they hired got a boner so big he couldn't reach the death machine's on switch anymore

centurylink has terrible downlink performance in new england because none of their linesmen are allowed within 500 feet of a farm

how do you know when your centurylink installer is in town? megan's law

there's a company that will sell you a router that they re-flashed with their software which reads your Netflix queue and caches what's in it between 3 and 6 AM when the connection is unmetered.
