I guess I’d better scrutinize my Time Warner bill this month. And maybe start pricing cable modems.

ISP interconnection has a substantial impact on consumer internet performance –sometimes a severely negative impact — and that business relationships between ISPs, and not major technical problems, are at the root of the problems we observed.
An interesting study with an intriguing conclusion.

Internet down for 12m Americans as Time Warner Cable suffers outage
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/aug/27/internet-down-time-warner-cable-outage
Per my earlier Tweet, we (the Mosses) are victims of this outage.
What do you want to bet that my bill will not reflect a credit for the inconvenience?

Democrat Warns Data Caps Could Undermine Net Neutrality

The Flip Side Of Net Neutrality. So far Time Warner hasn’t instituted data caps for my home Internet but Comcast could change that in the future.

Comcast Is Turning The US Into Its Own Private Hotspot
http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/11/comcast-is-turning-the-us-into-its-own-private-hotspot/?ncid=rss
Reminder to self: make sure Time Warner Road Runner Internet service does NOT include this new feature.
If it does (or might soon since Comcast bought them) … opt out!!!

Regulators should ask Comcast why cost savings won’t be passed along to consumers and what role the data caps have in keeping the average revenue per subscriber at a set rate. Compared with broadband rates in other parts of the world, it’s bizarre that U.S. wireline communications bills just keep rising.
My Internet provider is TWC. Twice in the last year my rates have increased but service remains lackluster at best.
I keep hoping Google Fibre will move west a few more miles so I can cut the cord to Comcast/TWC.

Data caps completely change the way that people use the Internet. You could send countless emails on 25 GB of data, but any sort of streaming or video gobbles it up.
I may not live in rural Alaska but I can see the writing on the wall with Time Warner and Comcast.

Unfortunately ISPs gloss over the real debate, which is whether transit providers, content companies and CDNs should have to pay to peer — that is, pay for the right to deliver all of the traffic that an ISP’s users are demanding — given that the end user has paid the ISP to deliver the content the user has asked for?
It’s a long article but full of insights into the battle for broadband going on v out of sight and mind of most consumers.

Kansas bill would bar cities from selling cable, Internet services
http://www.kansascity.com/2014/01/31/4790321/kansas-bill-would-bar-cities-from.html
I am appalled this is happening in my home state. I want Time Warner to have to compete against anyone else in the broadband market in municipality. It galls me to no end that Time Warner sits on its hind end and provides inferior service while enjoying a monopoly blessed by my own city government.

What you need to know about the court decision that just struck down net neutrality
Not sure what I need to do to take action to preserve an open internet. Appealing to Supreme Court probably not a good idea. Suppose I’ll write my Congressmen, although the ISPs and cable industry have probably already bought them.
