Very low. Remember when AT&T blocked Facetime unless you subscribed to a higher tier plan? That was only 2012.

I just went over the Pell bridge and only made the connection just now!

(To be fair I'm from MA.)

Fundamentally it's the idea that internet providers shouldn't be allowed to enact price discrimination that I disagree with. I don't think it's good for very casual internet users to subsidise heavy internet users and there's a million ways to sketch that out on a graph.

This has nothing to do with net neutrality. You can charge a heavy user more and that’s perfectly fine, and in my opinion how ISPs should charge customers ($x per GB).

Net neutrality just means they need to treat all traffic the same way, regardless of source, and not throttle it by speed or latency. It also means they shouldn’t be able to exempt certain content from that pricing structure, since it’s an unfair advantage to alternate providers.

Is this the version that went live with Beyond Light? Any issues that you guys ran into pushing out a major engine upgrade to a live service?

This would be a cool GDC talk by the way!
