Man im really in the minority here... Net Neutrality is scam, designed to lock in the technological dominance of those who are supporting it (aka comcast if you haven't heard they are lobbying AGAINST this repeal :oooo) After it's gone all kinds of different ISP competition will be built across the US. Repealing NN will be good in the long run and shake things up in the short term Why would you side with Comcast, though? Have you seen the kind of stuff they pull on their users? www.theverge.com/2016/10/6/13192832/comcast-xfinity-home-internet-data-caps-one-terabyte (tl;dr they capped people's Internet data at 1TB and charged extra for unlimited data) Also, there's nothing wrong with more competition. Having competition forces the current ISPs to become better and try to outdo each other. |

I'm sick of everything being turned into a business. I don't want my personal internet use to be exploited by some cash-hungry company bigwigs.

Wait I don’t get it. So does it mean we’ll hav to pay to watch YouTube? This will slow down our internet. This will also cause the Internet to be more expensive, and could allow the companies to target this site, forcing them to pay millions to stay out of the slow zone. This only benefits cable companies. |

the one time i get to be happy about being british
seriously though, that's so annoying they'd do that, almost like something ripped straight from an EA game.
best of luck to those in the usa, and hopefully you'll get to keep your internet nice and free! ^w^

Having competition forces the current ISPs to become better and try to outdo each other. um no i said im for the repeal comcast is against it lol they capped people's Internet data at 1TB and charged extra for unlimited data mobile companies cap you at 12 gigabytes if that and make you charge extra for unlimited data... if your burning through 1tb of internet you deserve to be charged extra there's nothing wrong with more competition. Having competition forces the current ISPs to become better and try to outdo each other. cool so um you agree with my point then... because this will happen after its repealed.... |

Having competition forces the current ISPs to become better and try to outdo each other. cool so um you agree with my point then... because this will happen after its repealed.... I love your selective responses to people. Ok so for one, Comcast is NOT against the repeal. Most ISPs actually SUPPORT the repeal, and the reason is because they get to charge more money for the internet as well as charging companies to get into the fast lane: "On Tuesday, Comcast swiftly threw its support behind Pai’s announcement. In two blog posts — one written by Comcast Senior VP and Chief Diversity Officer David L. Cohen and the other by Comcast Cable president and CEO Dave Watson — the executives say they commend Pai’s efforts to repeal the regulations. According to Cohen, the rules, specifically Title II classification, have harmed broadband investment and innovation. Read more at www.phillymag.com/business/2017/11/21/net-neutrality-comcast-fcc-repeal/#t6jdJttCpllchB7i.99" Now, Megaman clearly didn't understand your point, but THIS WILL NOT DRIVE COMPETITION. If this would drive competition, something big companies don't want, why would they all be in support of taking down the net neutrality laws? Again, these companies already have virtual monopolies over many areas, giving consumers 1 or 2 choices. More ISPs are not going to magically spring up once these laws are repealed. If more ISPs try to come into the market the big ISPs will do what they always do and sue them out or buy them out. In countries OUTSIDE the US, where consumers have a LOT of choices as far as ISPs are concerned, your argument makes more sense. But in the US that's simply not the case. |

well thankfully this doesn’t affect me because Asia is bae, but from what I hear this could be really bad if it gets repealed, so yeah vamos net neutrality It does affect you, though. I said why in the OP. Why would you side with Comcast, though? um no i said im for the repeal comcast is against it lol they capped people's Internet data at 1TB and charged extra for unlimited data mobile companies cap you at 12 gigabytes if that and make you charge extra for unlimited data... if your burning through 1tb of internet you deserve to be charged extra there's nothing wrong with more competition. Having competition forces the current ISPs to become better and try to outdo each other. cool so um you agree with my point then... because this will happen after its repealed.... Ah, sorry. when you said "I'm clearly in the minority, Net Neutrality is a scam" I thought you were saying that the laws themselves were a scam. |

I'm surprised this is a pinned thread this is not a bi-partisan issue even though the media pushes there agenda that it is. also, do you really think that companies like Comcast weren't already doing this during NN? they can just be open about it if they were doing things like this because all NN did was ensure that monopolies stayed in power! all these companies had to do now is pay politician and they would turn a blind eye this makes it to where smaller companies who cant pay off politicians can get these special benefits again solidifying monopolies place in the economy like do you really think that the government is going to every site checking for internet speeds? like really? again short term it may seem like the end of the world but long term this will wane the power of monopolies since they will no longer have a hold on the government... also less government the better in every case (besides military)  . overall NN harmed broadband investment and innovation and with the FCC transparency requirement and the restoration of the FTC‘s role in overseeing information services there will be less corruption that goes on with ISP's btw im getting this information from a buddy over at atlas telecom they may not be based in the US but they know well whats going on some extra information: www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2017/05/18/the_ugly_truth_about_obamas_net_neutrality_110247.html i got a lot more if you want just ask |
