Net Neutrality and Title II protected us from the shady #### ISP's did.
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?
Pre 2015, Netflix had to cut deals with ISP due to them allowing interconnection points to get congested.
Post Title II implementation, Cogent's CEO says that interconnection points are nearly congestion free.
Also, blocking and throttling are not banned under Restoring Internet Freedom. In paragraph 259, the FCC writes: “We find the no-blocking and no-throttling rules are unnecessary to prevent the harms that they were intended to thwart.” So, they promise not to throttle, but since there are no rules against it, they can throttle, since they have throttled in the past.
You can read what they say and believe them, or you can look at what they have done to judge what they will do.

Right, I get that, I guess it was more the 2nd part of what I bolded.

Sadly people are acting like this is a partisan issue and it's not. When the people who support the people who overturned NN, start suffering increased costs perhaps they will realize this isn't about party affiliation and speak out in favor or reinstating NN like they should have from the beginning.

The repeal of Net Neutrality is a hot topic in America, but it can be very difficult to understand. That’s why the BURGER KING® brand created WHOPPER® Neutrality, a social experiment that explains the effects of the repeal of Net Neutrality by putting it in terms anyone can understand: A WHOPPER® sandwich.

Washington is the first state to pass a met neutrality bill that takes effect when the FCC’s order takes effect.

Surprised there isn’t more discussion on this again with the Senate trying to pass something to reinstate NN. They need one Republican vote apparently.
I had earlier emailed my Rep (R) and his response some time ago was some spiel about it being good for the consumer. But in a twist today, since I’m now on his mailing list, he sent a poll about whether I agreed with FCC repeal. Of course I voted Strongly Disagree. He might see some numbers on this and change his mind. But he probably barely knows what the internet is so I’m not holding my breath.
Email your Senators and Representatives!

Of course it's good for consumers. It's good for them to pay more money to corporations who make contributions to political campaigns to keep the same representatives who probably believe they have the interests of their constituents at heart and...hmmmmm...Therefore...uhhh...erm....repeal = good?

An easy way to let your House Representatives know your feelings on this now while it might impact their thinking:

It's all setting up for 5G rollouts and network slicing capabilities. This will enable operators to provide portions of their networks for specific customer use cases. People really don't understand how much control and power these wireless operators will have with 5G, absent net neutrality.

A small win for Net Neutrality. Could’ve been way worse.
Still under Pai’s repeal for now but it leaves the door open to hopefully a bigger NN win later.
