My ISP has informed me that while they do not have any restrictions
of any sort placed upon any of their customers in terms of bandwidth
usage, there could be other limitations being imposed by the entities
that provide the wholesaling of content that my ISP "buys" from them.
Or, Youtube itself is placing limits upon the availability of their
data based upon a range of certain IP addresses, primarily those that
serve to "wholesale" data to ISPs, either of which could explain my
recent problems in being able to view longer videos online.
My ISP tech informed me today that this practice is increasing, and
that if I remain on dial-up, I should expect to see even more
limitations being imposed in the near future. I asked him if this all
had to do with any aspects of 'net neutrality' and he said it had more
to do with business. I think the two are intertwined and, in a way,
are two ways of saying the same thing.
