John Oliver Crashes the FCC's Site

quote:

Amid a debate involving Internet speeds, comedian John Oliver apparently managed to slow down the FCC‘s website.

On his Sunday night show “Last Week Tonight,” Mr. Oliver encouraged watchers to pay attention to net neutrality, even though the concept sounds “boring even by CSPAN standards.”


Or, if you just want to enjoy the video: You're welcome :)

I saw that too, good stuff. Oliver wasn't extremely funny on the Daily Show, but his own show is really good.

I loved it when he told the internet posters "This is what you have been training your whole life for."

It truly amazing how in bed large corporations are in with the federal government.

For those that haven't watched the video the lobbyist for the internet giants was hired by Obama to lead the FCC. No conflict of interest there.

Enough to crash the FCC's site

Hopefully that will be enough.

this entire netflix thing is so insane.


you pay someone like comcast for a certain amount of bandwidth to use how you want but now they are extorting netflix for more money because paying customers who already pay both companies use said services they pay for.
