Im sure they won't snoop on you or anything and it only requires 60gigs (!!) of data a month to "test" your internet connection, and for only 3 years. Won't you sign up today?

We'll be deploying our rather lovely SamKnows "White boxes"*, an asset to any home, filled with some clever technology to volunteers all around the country. Once connected to your home network the unit will perform a series of tests at regular intervals during the day, every day of the year, with little to no involvement from you, simple!

"SamKnows"? How Orwellian.

If that's an FCC program, why does the site have a .com extension?

If anyone signs up for this thing they deserve the spying assrape that ensues.

The site is probably run by the crony that's making $10 million dollars to study this nonsense. If I were a geek, I'd sign up so I could take it apart. Figuratively speaking, I mean.

These jackasses keep pushing their government products are 'free' bullshit in the face of obvious failure and invasion. As we all know, it's not really 'free' or 'freedom."
