As someone who lives outside of America, I would recommend that you immigrate to an actual free country.

Can't wait to have ISPs throttle Netflix and Youtube again during prime time 7pm-12pm. I personally experienced it when I had FiOs in NYC.

because Obama implemented it.

I went to r/donald to see past posts about it. Basically, some people believe that net neutrality stifles market growth/sophisticated mumbo jumbo ways to increase our economy.

It's funny. The American people funded most of the infrastructure for the Internet yet they are being screwed over by ISPs.

It's like you paying a contractor to build a house for you but the contractor thought it's too cozy and settles in for himself. He will allow you to rent it, if he feels like it.

There are images going around saying internet packages yada yada yada. I don't think that will happen.

What's sure to happen first is throttling. Been there, experienced it first hand how shitty it was not being able to watch youtube in 1080p during prime time. This literally makes me sad cause Internet usage is like the only source of entertainment I have after a tiring day at work. I remember going to r/videos and not being able to watch the videos real time. Had to wait for them to load up.


So many dumb people in this country. The system is in place to make dum dums dumber. I wouldn't be surprised if we are all suffering in misery in 50 years time due to human/corporation greed.

basically the thing to be doing is calling regular people in republican districts. get them aware, get them to call their reps, who will change position with enough pressure in theory.

but it isn't working.

because their reps don't care about them at all. they won by ~35%. threats to vote blue are empty.

they only care about being primaried. and that's best prevented by serving their donors.

It's just frustrating how they've been throwing this back at us over and over for like 10 years now and it feels like it's inevitable at this point with how many times we've stopped them... and they keep coming back. I hate this system.

it's a natural result of a system designed to minimize the importance of appealing to voters (gerrymandering, senate representation of small vs large states, winner-take-all EC) and maximize the importance of appealing to donors.

Rich gets richer
poor gets poorer
Humans are made to walk over each other, one way or another.

Just goes to show that when there's a will, there's always a way. It took time for them but ISPs are finally going to have what they wanted.

I did the same thing and you're right it wasn't and didn't do any damn good. It was the only option anyone had to stop it and those in office couldn't care less about it because they won't have to suffer for it.

Because it dissolved into yet another "HURR DURR CONSERVATIVES SUCK, LIBERALS SUCK, ETC."

both sides turned it political and focused on fighting each other instead of actually looking at the issue itself.

My senators are Republicans who would vote for a bill requiring puppies to be killed if they aren't adopted within twelve seconds of birth if another Republican proposed it.
