There has been a lot of debate recently over net neutrality rules placed by the FCC, particularly after a federal court ruling struck them down. Net neutrality warrants that service providers don’t discriminate between bandwidths, so ISPs and telcos can’t promote a service at the expense of regular bandwidth which may lead to an adverse effect on the user experience of their paying customers. Netflix has signed a deal with Comcast whereby the provider will no longer throttle its bandwidth, meaning that customers won’t have to put up with bad quality streams. Comcast has graciously accepted an undisclosed sum of money from Netflix for this, and Verizon believes that the streaming giant will sign a similar deal with it as well.
