And now for more recent news...net neutrality stuff!

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-04/youtube-and-netflix-throttled-by-carriers-research-finds

Obviously we heard about them throttling the data access of California firefighters a while back (trying to get them to pay more) which is a big part of why California all the sudden turned around and passed net neutrality all of the sudden when it couldn't get out of committee before. But this is the first I've heard of general throttling for everyday consumers. I'm not surprised by Netflix, ISPs already tried to throttle netflix back when net neutrality was law (and got sued). I did not expect Youtube as well though.

I expect all major streaming services will get hit with this unless they pay additional fees.
