Oh so you're not allowed to pay more for better service that seems a bit odd

It's to stop big companies buying the fast lanes of the internet and keeping everyone else in the slow lane. Here's a video that explains it:

Oh so you're not allowed to pay more for better service that seems a bit odd

Basically ISPs have claimed that they have had to invest a lot to meet the demand of fast growing popular sites such as netflix. ISPs claimed that due to this, the sites should have to help fund this.

I don't know all the details but a court case between Netflix and Comcast ended with Netflix agreeing unwillingly to pay Comcast, to ensure their videos where streamed at a better quality with talks that this could happen on a larger scale, with top businesses getting better speeds for paying extra.

What the recent win means is everyone is one the same speed at least on the ISP level. It means a big company and a little company will have to be treated equally which is great as the internet was always planned as being equal
