Google to develop software to detect throttling
This itty bitty company called Google is planning on developing software to help users detect whether or not you internet is being tampered with. In case you don’t know what throttling is, it’s loosy defined as limiting your upload/download speed with certain “types” of applications.
This is been a moral issue with me personally as I have been effected by how much I can upload by Comcast and Cablevision in the past. I don’t see them saying… “Well it’s 2am and I don’t think that Edwin should be watching the Cosby Show right now so let’s turn off his Nick @ Night so that Clarence down the street can watch Golden Girls”. If I feel like putting on 11 Televisions with 11 Cable Boxes ALL on the Cosby Show, I will because I PAY FOR THE SERVICE. They are lucky the Powerpuff girls aren’t on anymore because I’d totally have to save 1 TV for that. But I digress….
This would be an awesome move by Internet Jesus [Google], to finally give something to the consumers that throw their money at these overpriced service providers. Rest assured, I will one of the first in line.
