Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
And it's not just content and apps. They try to control the hardware too and the software that runs on it. Welcome to your next 5G device powered by Verizon that launches 6 months later than it should, with only half the functionality enabled and that only gets one software update a year.
Right, Comcast is not a global provider. If the power companies were allowed to become ISP's and use BPL (broadband over powerlines) or easily add fiber to the cable they already have, they would quickly be able to cover most of the country. Seeing that it is probably less than 1% of traffic that needs a global provider, the issue as I see it ,really is that Netflix and Google are riding for free on the last mile of providers.
Wasn't Ajit Pai appointed by Trump or by this admin for this specific purpose?
Scrolling through twitter I've seen it said that this repeal will have to be defended in court before it becomes law and similar attempts have been defeated twice. So there is hope.
what no mention of larger coffee cups as part of his kickbacks?
Couldn't they have raised their rates anyway? Is this a net-neutrality issue?matttyl said:

Somewhat off topic, but anybody who hates Ball or Kaepernick that much has some major issues. I could see being annoyed by them, but actual hatred is silly. Neither of them have a major effect on everyday life.
They should at least proofread it.
Sure they can, good for them.Scott Weiner just tweeted this. Can they do this? If so,
I don't know who this Weiner is, but I love him long time.Scott Weiner just tweeted this. Can they do this? If so,
My experience with government is if they title something "net neutrality", it's usually the opposite. IMO
Don’t forget about them also voting for limits on Class Action Lawsuits and businesses right to force arbitration in their terms and conditions. I received a heck of a letter from my Representative Emmer (R) that actually tried to explain how it was a good thing for consumers. Condescending as hell.
comcast has a monopoly in Philly. 4th largest city in the country and these big companies like Comcast and Verizon have built the market where you have no other option. my parents live about an hour and a half outside of Philly and they have 4-5 options
They have rolled back a lot of the means consumers had to protect themselves from banks, credit companies, etc.
Well the local monopoly that is controlling your access to TV and internet just got a lot more powerful.
You should have seen it coming. But well done getting that barn door finally closed.
It wouldn't surprise me to eventually see your internet bill like your phone bill where you are charged for data/usage.
That used to be the case but competition stopped it. I don't think we'll ever see per GB charges again.
He's lying. With net neutrality they could give you Netflix for free, but they couldn't throttle Hulu because they had a special deal with Netflix. Mobile providers circumvented net neutrality by giving you Netflix, but not adding to your data caps. So watching Hulu could cost you more money because of the data limit.
Effective marketing.
Most of the nation only has one legitimate option for high speed internet.
What it means is they won’t throttle your content if you have paid for a legal agreement, like they made netflix do. They also have no way of differentiating what is legal content and what is not. They know if someone is using bittorent, but they have no clue if you are downloading a movie or a linux distro. They might know you are using Tor, but have no clue what you are doing on it.
So much manufactured hysteria.
Do you know what their new promise says?
I'll help.
Would you explain the difference between:
"not throttle back the speed at which content comes to you" and "not prioritize internet traffic"
AND
"we do not block, slow down, or discriminate against lawful content"
As far as I can tell, the only difference is the "lawful content" part.
So, I guess anyone who streams illegal content should be upset. Is that why you guys are so upset?
