We have a similar thing as the "fiber rich" stuff in the Netherlands. The biggest cable provider is calling their network "glass fiber-cable", where the dash is really important. Written it means a combination of fiber and regular cable, e.g. just like every other cable network with fiber backbone. But in the pronunciation it becomes "glassfibercable" (we string everything together) which is sounds identical to the word for real glass fiber cable / ftth, because you don't "hear" the dash. So they abuse the identical sound with a "technically correct" Gotcha! Luckily we're not network-locked and most people hate this provider anyway, so there are alternatives. But the marketing should be illegal (and even though the advertising regulator smacked them on the wrist, they haven't changed the marketing yet) .

The downside is that, for some people, Ziggo is kinda the only option.

Nowadays Delta/Caiway is rolling out fiber and we swapped over but this also hasn't been that lovely (1gbps up/down but we rarely reach that during the day because of the XGS-PON limits), then again, 500/500 we can get pretty much guarranteed is still better than 300/30.

Hi Theo, I've been lurking your channel and consuming your content for a while now. Surprised I wasn't subscribed. Anywho I subscribed just now. I just wanted to voice my opinion that I don't appreciate you saying you want to block people who you disagree with or who disagree with you. Sure, you have every right appealing to a target audience /demographic, however what you're doing is advocating an echo chamber by your suggestion that youd like to block people with "wrong think". You've been very outspoken by implying that republicans essentially are to blame here various things. Its important for you to remember that people of all ends, angles and overlaps of the political world watch uou, not for your political opinions, but because you have important insight about programming and tech. Sure, this topic is definitely tech related, but you've somehow made this into a 3 parts politics and 1 part tech mixture. A bit too much politics for my taste. I digress, the real reason I'm commenting is because I felt the need to point out thst Netflix successfully brainwashed you into believing they are the victim, when in reality they are just wolves in sheepskin. Netflix has literally ALWAYS piggy backed off of others to get to where they are today. Do you remember dvd by mail? Somebody had to foot the bill for that, and as soon as the us postal service started fighting back, Netflix pivoted to streaming for multiple different reasons. One of those reasons is because they saw an opportunity to piggy back off of something else in order to gain dominance in yet another venture, and of course, steaming was the future and they could clearly see that. If you're still not convinced, then ask yourself this. If Netflix are such good guys and they're the victim, then why did they get rid of account sharing despite them having tweets encouraging people to do it in the early days? And last but not least, isps are evil horrible things, but the revoking of net neutrality hasn't been the end of the internet. In fact, I'm actually enjoying the best internet I've ever had. My upload matches my download rate which is astonishing. I thought in a dystopian age of no net neutrality, I'd be suffering, but I'm actually not. One last thing I'd like to say about Netflix is, there's absolutely no reason they need to charge as much as they do for 4k other than to drive home the point that they're salty they have to pay for a fast lane, so they're passing that cost onto their customers and still counting fat stacks. Face it, all corporations and big businesses are evil, period. And if this comment causes you to rage block me, then so be it. At least have the balls to inform me first before you do it. With that said, I really do like watching your KZbin content. You make great videos and I appreciate what you do.

[@Lucas-gt8en]

[@innomin8251]

I think there are some specific use cases where a "fast lane" makes sense. As someone who worked in a (non-US) telecommunications provider for 10+ years, I've got some relevant context on this. The big use case that comes to mind is voice calls. Especially voice calls to emergency services. Historically this hasn't been an issue, as voice calls used to go over a different cellular network to regular data, but with the roll-out of Voice over 5G well underway, we could very well find ourselves in a situation where your emergency call is dependent on whether the neighbor is watching Netflix or not. I strongly suspect that the draft wording is vague so that they can allow these kinds of use cases as they come up, and since they can't predict the future, they don't want to explicitly enumerate them. I'm confident they can do better on this front though, perhaps by some wording to the effect of "except in the case of real-time communication tools that may be used to access emergency services". Even that is wrought with danger though, as a new startup could easily go into the space using something that traditionally wouldn't be used to contact emergency services, and then how do you specifically allow that? The important part though, is unlike the "Enterprise 5G" scenario you described, this is something that would be applicable to regular users. Back in the early naughties, we were already doing this with QoS rules on our DSL network to make sure voice calls were given higher priority on the network so you had a good experience. That's because we offered VOIP as an alternative to buying a hard-wired phone service from another telecommunications company. We didn't have our own POTS network to support a hardwired land line.

[@Kwijibob]

Worth adding that there is already a solution to this baked into the IPv4 standard since the 90s for VoIP and similar latency sensitive services via the Type of Service bits in the IP header. Crucially that is set by the service provider's or client's device on either end of the connection, not by the ISP moving the packets between the two tampering with the traffic priority at their own discretion.

[@innomin8251]

​@@Kwijibob I think you've got a conflict there... QoS, which I specifically called out as something we used, inherently requires the ISP to treat that traffic differently. This would go against a very strict interpretation of a "no fast lane". Yes, QoS is part of the IP packets, but unless the ISP configures their network to actually treat those packets differently, then it does absolutely nothing. The CPE (the home router) also needs to be correctly configured to handle that data and ensure it's tagged. I vividly remember our challenges of rolling out VoIP and needing to have users plug their VOIP equipment into a specific port, because the hardware we could get at the time that was affordable to the average home user didn't have any DPI capabilities to identify VOIP traffic randomly passing through it.

[@innomin8251]

For further context, some of the other crazy stuff we were doing with QoS going back 15 years is things like prioritizing initial HTTP requests higher so that a web site page would load fast, but a large download would be lower priority. This dramatically improved the perceived performance of a users' internet connection, even when they were saturating their connection bandwidth. We would also put the QoS lower on Bittorrent traffic lower across our international links since we basically couldn't buy bandwidth. This was long before we eventually got one of the first 10 router modules ever produced that supported 40 Gbps links. The landscape is so much different now, with the ability to buy a dark fiber link at a fixed cost, and run sometimes as much as 400Gbps across it orders of magnitude cheaper than it was back then.

[@chainingsolid]

Honestly I would expect cellular calls and texts to be treated different from internet traffic, they predate them. And are low bandwidth. Also ANY low bandwidth things should work, your paying for X amount of bits per second! And it will be below X!

[@innomin8251]

@@chainingsolid I think most people would expect that, but when they're both data on the same network, you have to take steps to treat them differently. Historically they were different networks, so it was easy to segregate, but we're moving towards a model where 5G Data does everything.

There's a pile of things where I can see QoS handling being really useful for a quality experience. I don't know what the right balance is in terms of control. As an example, video services need stable bandwidth and throughput, but gaming requires low latency. Modern networks could try to do that (and when I've managed internal networks with various limitations, I've done it). Even with mobile, I currently have a limit on tethered traffic before it drops from high speed to low speed. It just meters the first X GB of traffic, then falls back to slow. I'd be happier if I could tag video conferencing as "needs high speed" and only run the toll on tethered traffic that is tagged to count towards the cap. The implementation here sucks. If they're offering the fast lanes, it should be QoS tags added on the client side, not decided on the service side. Though the struggle is that it's the return traffic that is the bulk of the bandwidth.

[@ParkBURST]

ISPs are what is called a natural monopoly. You can only build the infrastructure one time and everyone else who needs to use it has to listen to that one.

[@TenForceFalls]

I get some level of traffic management. My local (small) fiber isp has to change the way things are routed when live events like the super bowl are broadcasted. They push all other traffic through routes that aren't as fast (I can only get 800 Mbps instead of the 2 Gbps I pay for). That's ok with me as they literally are maxing out 100Gbps fiber lines during live events. This whole network slicing thing would make sense for first responders or business that need the higher speeds on their hotspot compared to everyone else. Or you have a x amount of speed at y ping garneted while on that slice for IoT applications like 5G security cameras. Just arbitrarily setting limits based on who is paying hostage fees is insane and a internet I don't want to live in.

Network shaping like this is bad.

If I remember right, Comcast was actually working with Netflix on this long ago, and neither was charging each other, because it lowered costs for Comcast and improved Netflix's service. Crucially, because of the nature of switched networks and microsegmentation, this didn't cut into other users's bandwidth.

if those people watching video on mobile are using too much bandwidth and it's a problem, then maybe the ISP's shouldn't be selling those high numbers of bandwidth for low prices. I know i'm shooting myself and many others here in the foot. But better a higher price and being actually able to get what you pay for, than a lower price for fake rates that you will not get for the applications that you actually want them for

[@gsgregory2022]

The thing about this is that I a user pay for x bandwidth. Then then the company pays for y bandwidth. What fast laning does is say that even though both sides are already paying that they will throttle you and thus block you from getting what you already paid for unless you pay more.

You haven't delt with Rogers, here in Canada we have Rogers, Bell and Telus as our big 3 and Telus is not available for home internet in my province... Rogers uses comcast technology (our cable boxes are just partially rebranded Xfinity X1 boxes) and I'd argue their customer service is worse. We have no other choice then Rogers Cable in our neighbourhood because Bell only offers DSL, (despite Bell offering pure fiber, just outside our neighbourhood) oh and Rogers advertises as "fiber powered" as well

Anything that's able to be circumvented by using a VPN shouldn't exist.

Wow, this is a good and simple distinction.

@@Malix_Labs if you can somehow get a vpn that is in a "fastlane", now all your traffic is in that fastlane

[@spicybaguette7706]

@@Malix_Labs Basically any rule that makes decisions based on someone's traffic signatures or IP addresses should not exist. That means no intercepting of DNS (tracking what websites you use), no rate limiting based on the services you use (DNS and IP), no region-blocked content (based on IP), etc. All of these can be circumvented with a VPN because it hides your traffic signatures (encryption) and the IPs which you connect to, to your provider. And it also hides the origin IP address from the websites you are visiting

The problem is they aren't introducing "fast lanes". Rather, the are introducing slow lanes.

Ok wasn't the FCC president a former Verizon or ISP executive? When this happened Trump had nothing to do with it. I'm 100% for net neutrality and not a huge politician fan in general but I do remember this well. Oh election times. Ajit Pai was designated Chairman by President Donald J. Trump in January 2017 and served through January 20, 2021. He had previously served as Commissioner at the FCC, appointed by then-President Barack Obama and confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate in May 2012. So he was appointed by both sides fyi. Other than that I do like the video though.

I like the analogy about filling a Ford with petrol. Isn't that exactly what electric vehicle manufacturers are doing 😂
