Transparency Is Our Goal

This is kinda neat. Google created a website with a few tools which allow you check your internet connection and see if your ISP is messing with you or not. It's obviously more technical than that, but read this PC World article; Google, Partners Release Net Neutrality Tools.

One interesting excerpt from the article:
"If you believe that network neutrality government regulation is not needed, if you believe that the market will handle this ... then you should also welcome Measurement Labs," Felten said. "What you are appealing to is a process of public discussion ... in which consumers move to the ISP [Internet service provider] that gives them the best performance. It's a market that's facilitated by better information."

Mom, I suggest you try this tool, although I haven't yet even reached the page... Ironically, it seems to be down right now...
