It looks like it's time to boycott Virgin in order to protect Net Neutrality. This link has a very convincing argument. Virgin is saying it will limit users' Internet access for commercial ends. So you can watch videos they want you to see quickly while loading your favorite YouTube video will take forever, or it won't load at all. This will only affect people who have Virgin as an Internet provider currently, but I'm sure if this succeeds, more will follow. Verizon must be frothing at the mouth, waiting to see if this works. So while I don't use Virgin for my Internet access, I can boycott their other business ventures. This is the first I've heard of it, so I'll do a bit more research and get back to you with the full story.
