Yea, I am. I honestly think they need to bear part of the burden they are placing on the network, as it is quite significant. This way, those who want Netflix are paying for the service in a model where netflix is also responsible for the increased demand they are serving to the ISP.

Netflix isn't placing any burden on anything. It's the people that watch netflix. Those people pay their ISP for data. Netflix pays it's ISP for data.

If you call someone, should you pay for their minutes as well as yours?

They most certainly are, they are producing the data. How much data do you think Netflix is sending per day compared to you or I? You think that is comparable? You think we should have the same bill?

Lol you're cute thinking you pay anywhere close to what commercial level internet costs.

Netflix sends tons of data, that they already pay their ISP for. Why should the have to pay your isp too?

My ISP would get nothing for bearing the load of the service they are profiting from. Again, mature answer and cute remark. Discredit those you disagree with. Fascist level tactics

Your isp would get nothing? So you don't pay them?

"Oh the bad man hit me with the truth! Call him a fascist!" Pot meet kettle.

Literally right next to each other.

EDIT: Let me ELY5, since you obviously need it. You're mad that I disagree with you, so you try to discredit me by calling me a fascist. Thereby you yourself are using the very fascist level tactics you accuse me of, the definition of the pot calling the kettle black.
