Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Tmobile is slowing the other content provider down because Netflix "paid " tmobile to do so . I honestly don't see a problem with it but a Benefit to the consumer and create more competition between carriers.
I highlighted your own words in hope of clarifying the issues. You're only seeing 'benefit', weasel words used by companies to push things. What you don't seem realise is that they're taking away choice. They're purposely reducing bandwidth of other providers simply because they're not getting paid by them and instead pushing Netflix.
The consumer here isn't the winner. It's Netflix and T-Mobile because people would find using the other providers painful because they're being slowed on purpose. So yes they are giving special treatment to Netflix. So unless you typed something incorrectly your own words state differently.
This is why net neutrality is important. I know the US carriers love nothing more than bullying everyone and taking choice away from consumers so that's why stuff like this has to be stopped. There is no benefit here. It's about domination and lack of choice.
