What it all comes down to is how well you detect greed.

One company owns like 30% of internet connection in the united states. That company is Comcast. The rest of the connections are through the hundreds of dsl and the hundred or so other cable companies. This means that Comcast has the largest percentage, and the loudest voice. What they will do, all the others will soon follow suite. The companies that do not, will be bought quickly.

Comcast is wanting “unlimited” to end. They have been hyping some story of growing usage and lack of pipe to supply it all. Um, they did buy up all the other companies, of course the user count is growing. dur.. but so is their supply and resources. So do not be fooled by this.

Anyway we will be offered packages, instead of the packages we get now where we can select how fast our connection is, by how much we pay. We will now select how much we want to download in a month, by how much we are willing to pay. They push some theory that the internet will suddenly speed up because people will conserve better to avoid the prices. I see a huge spike at the beginning of the month of people saying ” oh hey I can down X amount now and just surf regular for the rest of the month”. Of course we will not see the internet get slow during these times because well, they have the horse power to support that, again they are blowing smoke to sell their product.

You may be wondering how they can get fake news out. right?…… cable tv, …. you get it yet ? Well in short, I am pretty sure they know someone who knows someone.

If they are allowed to charge site owners for the traffic that comes there from them, then they are now making from the people getting there, and the people that are there. That’s like ford charging Disney land for the people using Ford to get there. THE CAR IS FRICKEN PAID FOR!. This of course will lead to alot of websites shutting down because they can no longer afford to be on the internet. So lil Davey’s website about his favorite bicycle will have to go down because he can no longer afford to pay for the traffic that the internet sends to him. There is a chance that internet providers will blacklist websites and block people from trafficking the websites. If you notice, we are now being covered by comcast ,(if we are getting our service through comcast) if we type a domain name wrong, it takes us to a comcast specific page instead of the 404 page. This is a clear sign that those days are coming. This means an almost extortion mentality could come of this (old gangster’s voice) ” look see, this what we want for sending people to your website see, or we stop people all together see” When actually in all truth, if all the websites vanish from the internet, what the heck do we need internet for ? Looks like the whole internet freedom, is screeching to a hault in this case.

So if it is ruled against the carriers from charging the site owners, count on your internet being priced to come out of your pocket in a $50 a month for a limited amount of file size per month. chances are, they will do that anyway. charge the domain owners, and the customers.

Comcast is already testing this in a few cities across the united states.

I am the owner of iworkwithpeople.comI have not been able to connect to my website now for nearly a week, I have seen that I can connect while at work on a t3 line, and I can connect on my female friend’s computer that has a dsl line, and a few friends from live.Pirillo.com have helped me and checked the connection from where they are and they all connect.. except the people on comcast . My site’s address is iworkwithpeople.com and the service I have is through 50megs.com. i assume they took it upon themselves to block 50megs.com for what ever reason they saw fit. in the process of blocking 50megs, they blocked me.. This reduces the number of page visits considerably. Considering they monopolized the cable industry, it looks more like a 20’s gangster bull crap “ehh mugsy don’t let no one connect to them until they pay me 50% seeeeeeee” .I am not happy with this .

The letter I wrote is to follow…

Comcast Houston blocking my domain.
I own a website, through 50megs.com
I can connect to my file manager on sbc dsl, I can connect through sprint dsl and I have connected at work with a t3 line, but when I get home or to any of my friend’s houses with Comcast I can not connect to 50megs.com . I am near time to re up on my domain name and hosting bills and getting really frustrated that I can not connect from home where i feel safe. I want to connect to my service and it appears you are blocking me. Please look into this and solve this issue.

Kinda looks like they sent me a bunch of nothing from comcast.. feels like I am trying to teach my cat how to pee in the toilet.

************update****************

Someone sent me a link to a proxy thingy for myspace
and it actually worked, just typed in my web site address and bamI whent directly to my site. I did not type in my password or anything though, I really do not know if I trust a third party site like that… ya know? so if you are on comunismcast or any service that can not see my site right now, gie that a try. see for your self that you are actually blocked.
