According to geotool look up, the servers are located in Irving, Texas.

Fingers crossed that something works.

It was created by a Swedish aviation fan by the name of Johan Lundgren, Jr. But I don't think their is a data center for this website, it's just out there.

I wish a.net was like it used to be. I paid for the first class membership and liked it. I would do the same again if I could.FreequentFlier wrote:Spoiler alert: there will be no impact whatsoever. The net neutrality advocates are fear mongering idiots.
Exactly! The internet will go on as before, just like in the days before 2012. Maybe it will get better and we'll see less useless conspiracy theories and fake/distorted "news" from unknown sources.

I would say there was nothing wrong with the internet so there was no need for the rules in the first place. What was so terrible that we needed "Net Neutrality" ?

Except the free market assumes there is some degree of competition.
Consolidation among ISPs in the US means that millions of Americans already have no choice of internet provider. This in turn means that not only are they at the mercy of the one provider's fares when it comes to paying for their internet access, they will also likely lose the option of which streaming provider they can have, and thus, the content they get will get filtered based on financial agreements or political leanings.
The worst part of it, of course, is that this will become another political propaganda tool for corporations and their owners.
For the life of me, I don't understand why some Americans get all hot and bothered when it comes to defending major corporations, despite the fact that their effects on society is often questionable.
You want to do the country a favor? Look after your SME's, not the billion dollar businesses who need no help in the first place.

This means carriers have the permission to favor some OTT platforms and throat the others. From the content provider's perspective, it is called paid prioritization. Personally I started using proxy a few months ago and don't have any regrets. It has the highest possible speed and now I have access to the blocked content. In the current situation I think it's the easiest way to bypass the restrictions and save money.
