Is this finding of white listing of internet connection during testing similar to the emission test defeat scandal of VW?

Faster and cheaper internet access for progress

Philippines, October 17, 2015

There was this video at You Tube which investigated the internet speed connected to the speed test, and the speed being being monitored when not connected to the testing site. (There was another measurement site - MLabs which monitored the ping and the speed) The testing site reading gave a higher reading which was the advertised speed, but the actual usage showed a much slower speed.  The investigator/author of the video theorized that the telco was white listing the connection when being tested.  When the test site is the connection, the internet gives a correct speed, but when another URL is the site, the internet speed is the slower actual speed.

But what is new? Carriers/telcos are ignoring Speed test results. What, are helpless against telco
giants?

Exempting Ookla speed test by T Mobile We must have FCC or NTC doing independent test sites on line?

 Is this not   similar to the VW scam/scandal discovered for emission testing, by an independent group of investigator. Because of this, VW is facing sanctions and the CEO of VW had to resign,  The VW stocks took a dive.  As a result, VW is also investigated for wrong doing in Europe.  How can this happen to a venerable brand like VW with over $400 billion of car sales annually?

  Mr John German who discovered the VW cars emission scandal of ICCT International Council of Clean Transportation (what a paradox, a man named German discovering a German origin scandal. The cars tested initially passed the emission tests.  He found as in this case that the test of German cars in actual usage,  were 20x the limit.  They did more test, and their hypothesis is that  there must have been an emission test defeat software, or language in the computer box or emission hardware. software.





Here is an except of the article:

Mr German being questioned by reporters






John German is the US co-lead of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to reducing vehicle emissions.
He told Wake Up To Money the story of how they got started with their investigation.
"There's been a consistent stream of data suggesting that diesel cars in Europe have high NOx (nitrogen oxides and dioxides) emission," he says.
"So we had this bright idea - let's look at US where the emissions standards are more stringent.
We thought the cars there would be clean, and we could take the results to Europe and say, 'hey look, they're clean in the US, why can't you do it in Europe?'"
'Something wrong'
On 20 September, VW's then chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, issued a public apology, admitting to "breaking the trust" of customers.

Now is this video discovery something that is similar to the VW scandal?  Our regulators (whom we hope are not working for the telcos should wake up to this, live up to their roles as guardians of the consumer, public interest and make an independent ruling punish and enforce regulations as in truth in advertising of the telcos

Is this internet limiting correct? NTC should investigate this.

NAGKAKALOKOHAN BA TALAGA?  Nanloloko ba ang telco being mentioned?




Nagkakalokohan ba talaga? It is happening and being tolerated by famous captains of the industry?

Test your internet speed by using Ookla Speed test.
