Like Robert de Niro in that movie where he plays a mobster with anger issues (and Billy Crystal is his shrink).

Imagine if the playback speed for videos and music was determined by your download speeds and ISPs and router manufacturers would advertise different tiers for different genres. And illegal speed changers were highly sought after on the blackmarket.

ye and I’m not saying this won’t happen too lol. though for this to work the router manufacturers would have to be colluding with stream services to and only forward packets to device when needed and the service slows it down on the clientside/browser so you couldn’t over buffer the whole video and bypass it. :thinking: does this make my pfSense router contraband now XD

Or the routers could have the access to certain streaming services whitelisted while blocking anything else your ISP’s plan doesn’t include.
I mean, there were talks about excluding social media and messaging apps to a specific service with carriers so you’d have to pay a monthly fee to be able to use them. And I think there is something like that actually in place in Africa.

There already were cases in the US where ISPs/carriers throttled traffic to external streaming services while giving full speeds to their own in-house services. And if your ISP/carrier pulls the string there ain’t much you can do about it.

Yeah, and VPNs - thanks to generous sponsor slots of famous mainstream youtubers - have become much more known. But your average Joe and Linda probably don’t know how to use them.
I mean, with Huawei’s uncertain future regarding Android, the amount of people still buying their phones is mind boggling. Cause I doubt they’re able to flash a custom ROM on it (part due to the fact that Huawei stopped giving out unlock codes).
