Agree. We already pay extra for 50 megabit down and 25 up service, primarily so we can get great streaming video support. For some things that works well -- like Amazon -- but Netflix appears to be singled out for "special treatment" by Verizon -- presumably they are holding a gun to Netflix's head so they will pay them the same bounty they have already had to pay Comcast.
This should not be necessary. But since the phone companies own our congressmen and the courts, there's no chance we'll get true Net Neutrality, and therefore we will be subjected to this kind of highway robbery.
Not a happy camper.
And by the way, Verizon should love us and treat us well as we are also full-boat digital TV and voice customers, so it's not like we're taking anything away from them by wanting to watch House of Cards or Orange is the New Black.
Sheesh.
