Yes, Netflix wasn't directly throttled but it was indirectly throttled but if you read more you can see where it did occur.

"Until recently, if peering ports became congested with downstream traffic, it was common practice for an ISP to temporarily open up new ports to maintain the flow of data. This was not a business arrangement; just something that had been done as a courtesy. ISPs would expect the bandwidth companies to do the same if there was a spike in upstream traffic. However, there is virtually no upstream traffic with Netflix, so the Comcasts and Verizons of the world claimed they were being taken advantage of."

So where other companies opened up new ports to maintain the flow of data during spikes they didn't do that for Netflix. So is it a glaring violation? No but enough to raise the issue of net neutrality.

Liberals always point out that there is little to no evidence of voter fraud that a voter ID law would solve and you are using the same logic here. Why do you have to wait for the problem to arrive before doing something to stop it? No one flew buildings into airplanes until they did then everyone asked why there weren't measures in place to have prevented it.

So yes, while there may not have been a serious issue here I still think there is enough reason for the government to treat ISPs like utilities and have some regulations.

What is the big argument against net neutrality? I get the general push against larger government but what specifically about net neutrality legislation is so harmful?



I guess your Googler is still broken?  It's starting to look like it's the operator, not the tool ...

Net neutrality is the notion that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) shouldn't be able to "slow down, speed up,
or block data as it is routed from its content originator to end users" in order to favor particular sites. The
net neutrality regulations put in place under the Obama administration involved subjecting the Internet to
Title II of the 1934 Communications Act, where it's considered a public utility that is subject to the iron grip of
the FCC.

The FCC is now trying to kill these regulations, and they are right to do so. Here are seven reasons why.

With the lower corporate tax rate, companies will buy back stocks from investors who will then need something else to invest in and they'll see all of these frustrated internet users who are complaining about unresponsive IPs and will invest their money into a different kind of internet innovation that isn't controlled by the IPs. It could happen...
