Google to rank ISP's by youtube speed

This is very cool news. Don't sign your next ISP contract before finding out what this study will show:

Google is going to start logging ISP connection speeds and ranking them based on YouTube streaming performance.

The concept appears to not be all that dissimilar from Netflix's attempt to name and shame ISPs for lower quality streaming performance


This is great. Shop around and make sure your ISP isn't throttling traffic with this report. There is a flock of assholes dicing up internet service to squeeze out extra fees on each leg of the trip. PUNISH THEM.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
