Netflix’s new site is a giant “f*ck you” to Comcast and Time Warner

Netflix launched a site late Wednesday night called Fast.com, where — in one click — anyone browsing the internet can see how fast their internet speed is. Although it’s great for consumers, some internet providers might not be happy about the new website.

Fuck Comcast

[paradoxanomalyenigma]

Netflix didn’t invent that it’s been around

[vaspider]

Netflix didn’t invent speed checks, but this site is Netflix’s.

[queerlyexhausted]

Okay, so here’s why Netflix speedtest is so brilliant. 

Most of us know about Speedtest.net, right? Well Comcast and Time Warner know about it too. They know customers use it to check to see if they’re getting what they are paying for. Comcast techs even tell customers to check their speed with Speedtest.net. 

So, to make sure people think they are getting good speeds, Comcast and Time Warner prioritize traffic going to Speedtest.net. When you check your speed there it’s artificially inflated. That is NOT the speed you are getting when you browse tumblr and that is definitely not the speed you get when you watch Netflix. 

Comcast and Time Warner can not artificially inflate the results by prioritizing traffic to Fast.net unless they also prioritize traffic to Netflix, and they definitely do not want to do that.

Trump supporters: the vote is rigged! Votes were switched from Republican to Democrat! People were tearing up Republican ballots! People were being brainwashed from birth to read 'Democrat' as 'Republican' so that they ticked the wrong box! The whole election is a lie! The result can't be trusted! The loser must fight it! Democracy has failed!

Trump: *wins*

Trump supporters: I love elections. So infallible. Democracy is my favourite thing in the world, apart from my cool tank-top which says 'down with The (non-white) Man'. So glad they weren't rigged. They would have been rigged if this hadn't been the result, but it was the result, so they weren't. I love democracy.

You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.

Someone who’s black or supports black people and their human rights. it literally says that in the description. “You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and you’re for us.”

So I became a scientist!

[morgynleri]

*gigglesnort* I do love the hate between Dukat and Garak. It’s just so deliciously vicious, while being fairly bloodless.

[kimfungtoi]

It took me a minute to realize this wasn’t debate commentary.

[morgynleri]

If you’re talking about the US political debates… I avoid them, because I do not need to raise my blood pressure like that.

(And while Dukat has been growing on me, I’m still far more fond of Garak myself.)

[kimfungtoi]

Garak is my most favorite. I love that duplicitous sneaky space lizard.

[imsoshive]

I’m done
