Problem with Craig’s List a Software Glitch, Not a Net Neutrality Issue
Some Cox High Speed Internet customers are having a problem accessing Craig’s List. A few folks have mistaken it as a certain sign that Cox is blocking access to the site. That’s completely not the case. It’s a software issue related to how security software developed by Authentium interprets Craig’s List’s initial packet connections, resulting in a very slow connection for some users. It’s unfortunate, of course, but still only a software issue—not some plot to block this popular site. The issue is being addressed right now by Authentium. As John Sharp, Authentium’s CEO, told WebProNews, "It really isn't a ‘net neutrality’ issue at all - or a Cox, or even a Craigslist issue. We have a 100% ownership of the issue, and we're doing what we can to get the word out about the fix." Here's the full WebProNews article and interview with Sharp.
