So, you go to Youtube. "Errr, why is Youtube so slow" you might say, or "What is wrong with my computer!".
Well, don't blaim it on your computer OR Youtube. It's your internet provider.
Your internet provider will SLOW DOWN sites like Youtube, or Netflix if they don't pay your provider fees.
Verizon is one of the first to do this, slowing down Netflix about 14%. But if they do this, how do they keep their customers?
Good question, but the thing is, in the near future, most companies will be doing this (Charter, AT&T, etc).
Why did this just start now? Well, recently a court case was held, and during the court case the Internet Neutrality rule was repealed, one of the most important laws in all of the internet. It used to prevent companies from taking over the internet, so it belonged to no one, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality
But now that it is gone, people could take over the internet and do stuff like this!
Search the web for Net Neutrality and chances are you will find a lot of news on it.
If someone could create a petition and get some signers, possibly this law could be put back into action.
Change.org is a good place to create petitions.

The constant lag with my Netflix when streaming movies on the Roku or my computer caused me to upgrade my internet connection to the highest package, so that now it's well over $150 a month. Sometimes, I question whether or not such speed is needed but now I don't notice the same lag as before when streaming. And, since the streaming movies are a popular thing in our home, I don't complain too much.
