About 6 months ago I noticed network problems between my FiOS end point and youtube. I ran traceroutes and detected dropped patches and where in the network there was a problem. I even got the attention of network engineers at Verizon. While this is not conclusive proof it was evidence that there was a problem. Later on I had read that Verizon was trying to beat more money out of Google. I told Verizon that if they didn’t increase bandwidth I would dump them and go to Comcast. The problem magically went away for a little while.
The network providers are a bunch of douches. Meshnet anyone?
