You'd need to throttle every connection from every router and network to do this. For example using a Google search, your home router connects to googled servers which connect to other severs and displays search results. Yes, Google is that insanely fast. To halt Internet speed you'd need to throttle all of that. There's nothing that can stop them from failing unless they can somehow do that. And with more networks coming into play every day, this seems more of a hoax than anything but who knows?

Some of you should learn some information about the topic before blindly signing a silly petition. Sure the threat sounds bad to you but that's how scare tactics work.

Besides you would only legally be able to slow down servers run through you. The groups in that petition would most likely be a small percentage. Too idiotic for me to sign. This is federal law, and we don't just win by doing nothing. We win by taking action. In fact, if we didn't learn that the TPP existed, we would have lost. What war? All they could do is throttle servers that belong to them... Anything networks not owned or licensed to the group in question would not be affected. We aren't talking about a netwide doomsday disaster kind of thing. It's just gonna cause people to find alternatives... It's not this huge problem that everyone says it will be.. More on our network? Should he anyway, nerf? :-P The group can't do anything to your network unless you use for example AT&T wifi since they are apparently part of it. In that case you just start using a different provider/service and voila. You have good wifi.

To be honest if they go through with it, people will just switch away from them and they'll be losing money.
