Colin Nederkoorn: "Verizon made an enemy tonight"
*Verizon made an enemy tonight* On a flight back to New York I read Level 3's assessment of the latest round of the Netflix vs Internet Provider debacle. The summarized version is that basically Netflix is slow because Verizon refuses to add capacity to peer with Level 3. Fixing the situation would cost Verizon on the order of a few thousand (that's right thousand) dollars. Level 3 is even willing to foot the bill. But Verizon refuses. *Is Netflix actually slow on Verizon Fios?* I wasn't sure how to test my Netflix speed. After a bit of googling I found an article by Wired on how to test your Netflix streaming speed. I followed their steps and I was shocked. The video on netflix actually shows you how fast it is streaming to you which is helpful for ddiagnostics. Here's the test video on Netflix for quick reference Keep in mind, I pay Verizon for 75 mbps down, 35 mbps up on my Fios connection. This Netflix video streams at 375 kbps (or 0.375 mbps -- 0.5% of the speed I pay for) at the fastest. I was shocked. Then I decided to try connecting to a VPN service to compare.

Caro Juan Carlos, grazie per questa notizia che trovo interessantissima ed una primizia di quanto tra un po' vedremo accadere. Come ulteriore commento non posso che dire con amarezza come su questi temi AGCOM mi sembri assolutamente assente.

Caro Giorgio, grazie molte! Mi sembra importante discutere di notizie simili perché il tema della neutralità della rete patisce di molti tentativi di minimizzazione e offuscazione, alcuni in buona fede (il tema è complesso), altri decisamente meno.
