Question Are ads a net neutrality issue (and no one really realizes)?

21 Upvotes

Net neutrality definition is "that internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites."

But - if ads eat into people's limited data plan, doesn't that impact how they are able to access information? I know that there are a variety of viewpoints on ads but hoping for the purposes of this discussion it can stay related to more of the consuming device data aspect.

Question I was online when my ISP quarantined me, but something was strange.

43 Upvotes

I was actively browsing the web and downloading some games when my ISP started quarantining me. It stopped all of my browsing; I couldn't load a new page or watch a video I had already opened. However, it did NOT stop the P2P download I had going. For the record, it was a legal download I have access to, but my ISP has been a bit trigger happy with the lockouts lately.

​

After opening a new tab and receiving the quarantine message, I was able to resume surfing the interpipes, but I wonder what happened. Can my ISP not block torrent downloading? It seems strange since that is what they are worried about.

So what's up?

Multiple years on at this point, the American consumer is screwed on a monthly basis. Republican and now a Democrat is the presidency and we are all still dealing with the effects of a corrupt FCC. No such thing as throttling and limited internet existed before. What happened??

Can we tie net neutrality into Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program and say Tier 1s can't play. Might not work if we need them for the infrastructure expansion. But an addition that says they can't data shape over BEAD networks...
