    Net Neutrality discussions... bigger snooze fest than global warming fear mongers. Or like I mentioned in another thread... Y2K. People are more concerned about the principal of the issue than in the actual effects of it. Another year of no legislation on it and another year of faster speeds for the average consumer.

    That's not entirely true though, the average consumer likely has Netflix which was throttled for a while wasn't it? And your average consumer definitely uses torrents which are often throttled, but since that's often illegal content I won't complain about that as much (though the only things I'm currently seeding are legal*).

    My dear, the median is actually important and not the average.

    And watered heaven with their tears:
    Did he smile his work to see?
    Did he who made the lamb make thee?

    Real download speed or just the number on the contract. Because that's what the discussion is all about.
