I have some food for thought to share but first an update. A
technician
came out today to check the line and setup. Line was clear and strong.
Switched the modem and now getting 256 down. But . . . internet is
still
very slow to connect as verified by several of you. Once it gets to
where
it's going, it is really fast. So here's my conclusion . . .
I think we are finally seeing the effects of the demise of Net
Neutrality.
Corporations are raking in a lot of money streaming videos to every
imaginable device and the tech sites that I/we frequent are a low
priority.
So we are being bumped to the slow lane. Aaron Swartz and others saw
this
coming and it has finally arrived. Will be interesting to see just
how bad
it's going to get . . .
Have you tried timing connection time to sites that likely *are* in the
fast lane? Do we even now what they are?

Well, I picked a few names at random. netflix pops up as soon as I hit
enter. Ditto Microsoft, outlook, Apple, twitter, instagram, reddit,
snapchat and facebook. Redhat is in a slower lane as is the Linux
Foundation. Even Ubuntu takes a while. But I don't get out much so
maybe some of you know some popular destinations that I missed.
It is incredibly annoying to be connected to a rather fast pipe yet have
to travel on what feels like 56k connection to get to where I can
benefit from it.
