You're a smart crowd Anandtech, I need not explain the details of this like I have on other blogs/forums that I posted this on.

Just watch and you'll probably have something to say.

Their ad gives no information on Net Neutrality at all. The web page is titled 'untitled page' and the video doesn't seem to show up in Firefox, citing Flash isn't installed, which it is. Had to play it in IE7, where the page is also untitled.

Yes, the title of the page is "untitled." However, from the other places I found this listed a lot of people are claiming that they've seen this ad run on their local television stations already.

holy crap. I just saw this ad. Are they fscking serious. this is retarded.

p.s. ZOMG!!1! the search function worked!

They have been playing a different ad here, but by the same group with the same lies. I've known what Net Neutrality for a while and it made me question what I knew. Everytime I see it I think I have it the wrong way around and it pisses me off a lot.

ok well i'm prolly gone get beat...but i dunno wtf net neut. is...so i wiki'd it...
it seems like basically the idea is that ISPs cant shape traffic so that, HTTP and email protocols are higher on the totem pole than gaming and p2p...maybe even trying to limit p2p all together...so if i am right....imo...net neut. is great, because it allows the end user to control how they want to shape their traffic...and that that comericial is in fact a bunch of bullshit paid for by telecom co's such as bellsouth, comcast, charter, etc... because they want more control

am i right?
