And I was just saying that basically Verizon is looking for a lawsuit simply because Netflix is telling the truth. Any competent computer networking specialist knows that it's possible to prioritize the delivery of data based the type of data (like streaming video as opposed to a PDF file) or block it altogether based on either type or source.

First Exclusion Ever
Good for Netflix. They should have done this when Comcast extorted them into paying for a two tier connection for their customers instead of paying them off. Now they look like a target for the other ISPs. I am about ready to cancel my Comcast subscription, they are very clearly throttling traffic. Vote with your money people, and cancel subscriptions to anti-net neutrality ISPs.

Netflix must announce that their services will no longer be available to the Verizon subscribers. Let's see out of the two, who the customers will chose. BTW... the choice is pretty simple for me, and it is not Verizon.

Time has come to dump Verizon.  Grin

man these cable companies are getting quite creepy.. there's no limit to the kind of shit they'd be willing to do to sell "airspace" to internet services like netflix. if the new anti-neutrality bill passes, this will become a more and more common occurrence.. the big cable companies would be very, very powerful.

We actually watch netflix more than regular television. I like that they are telling customers the truth. Verizon sucks at broad band.
