Question
Should a private (for profit) organization (e.g., Comcast, AT&T, etc.) that provides multiple services such as internet access, internet infrastructure, and its own "content" (i.e., web pages, online entertainment, etc.), be able to slow down the speed of competitors or prevent its subscribers from using competing services/apps? I.e., If I want to look at the news from BBC online, should my ISP be able to slow it down so that their site appears to run faster?In contrast, if I'm a private (for profit) organization (e.g., Comcast, AT&T, etc.), should my subscribers be able to stream endless Netflix movies through my pipes, which slows down service for my other subscribers and ultimately costs me money?
Explanation / Answer
A good part of that is probably the ISP internet service provider.....they might be getting overloaded and so with all the people on line, things just slow down. You can try going to Tools, Internet Options, choose Privacy, click on Sites, and paste your current web site you are on into the box, as a cookie to be allowed all the time. copy the address of the site you are on, if you plan of visiting it often...and paste it into the slot....click on "allow". This helps, if your internet cleaner is erasing cookies, because if it is, you have to wait for the web site to get a cookie, which causes some delay.
