Mr. Pai is probably the worst thing to happen to the free and open internet as we know it. How can we work to oust him? Is it even possible?

I used to have an ISP that seamed to throttle bittorrent traffic. Is there anything people can do to get around this type of behaviour?

this is why i cringe when i see the comcast ads claiming that they are so pro NN and they won't throttle/etc. they say "legal" traffic. we know where they're going with that... traffic that they consider "legal."

Slimy.

Mr. Pai should be charged with treason.

Block SSL traffic? Not even possible. Why does everyone want government regulation on the internet? It's very short-sighted.

I thought https initial request had to happen in the clear in order to get the dns resolved? If so, then you can definitely block/throttle https traffic since you know where it is going.

There is even a push to encrypt DNS requests. This throttling hysteria is just that.
