[Discuss] Https - the solution to net neutrality and ISP monopolies



Slashdot discussion re: Verizon Fios customer's experience:
"However, his Netflix video streams were limping along at just 
375kbps (0.375mbps), equivalent to 0.5 percent of the speed he's 
paying for. On a hunch, he decided to connect to a VPN service, 
which in theory should actually make things slower since it's 
adding extra hops. Speeds didn't get slower, they got much 
faster."
