[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2510245, member: 7629"] sure .. it's a changing world .. used to be internet access was not common place. fast forward to today where internet access is routine and part of everyday communication for most everyone that accesses the web. which includes just about all OSA members. it's a fact that network speed is a MAJOR factor in deciding if any website is worth visiting. if OSA takes say two minutes to load each page .. without question OSA traffic would quickly go away. now apply that example to any website in the world, especially sites that stream video. if the FCC would grow a backbone and classify all internet service providers as class II communication carriers .. then all ISP would be forced to give all parties equal access. currently only America has ISP (internet service providers) that permanently keep their network saturated at 90% ... purposely degrading their own network. the logic that it costs to provide service to ISP's customer so content providers should pay to access is bogus!!! ISP's conveniently forget their customers are already paying for their backbone costs and are already paying for internet access. only in America do major backbone providers like Level 3 offer to pay for peering upgrades at no costs to folks like Comcast and TWC to get rid of permanent 90% saturation levels. what Comcast and TWC don't tell you is they turn down those free peering upgrades. Comcast and TWC has intentionally downgraded their own customer's web access speed. web access that their own customers are already paying for.... now these two mega ISP are wanting to merge .. ya right .. that would be realllly horrible for everyone! to check for yourself throttling is happening ... next time your internet access slows to a craw .. do a DSLreports speed test. which probably will come back at blistering speeds (2.5mb/sec +++). yet the streaming website you are trying to access is running at a craw (under 50kb/sec) ...
