Nope, but this does not seem like common knowledge. I'd like to see it become common knowledge.

But if so many know about it, why is -seemingly- nobody trying to change things?

i don't think a lot of people know this. maybe the majority of people on sites like this cause most of us are educated nerds...but your average joe doesn't really understand that this is occurring...they just pay and accept.

Yeah, that seems likely to be the case.

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
BOYCOTT THE INTERNET?!?!
My solution.
Toshabi: Hey *****! I'm paying too much for my internet.
Customer support: Okay. You now pay $20/mo for a 20mbs connection instead of $50/mo.
This actually works. Kinda.
I have too many other important things going on in my life to care much about a lagspike or two when I'm watching MLP pornography streams. Unless it's during the money shot scenes.
Also that guy's hair is really stupid. If there's one thing I've learned in life, if they have a stupid hair style, they themselves are stupid.

You need to log in before commenting.
Raise some awareness of what is causing the problem.
ISPs are getting lots of tax-cuts and financial support from the government and are reporting record profits, yet they can't even provide the connection speeds that you pay for?
There's obviously something wrong, and somebody needs to grab these companies by their collar and make them behave.
A nice comment on the topic:"So, we order something from a company, Netflix, we pay another company to deliver that product to our house, comcast, verizon. That product gets delivered damaged or incomplete, despite being shipped whole and undamaged by Netflix. I believe this situation results in a lawsuit."
Edit: oh hell no, that makes no sense in retrospect. It could possibly be compared to a delivery arriving late when you've payed for it to arrive before a certain time.
