Why should anyone be worried about the made-up doomsday scenarios that never happened for the decades NN didn't even exist? Translation: I individually did not see or notice any problems with my internet prior to 2015, so no one else had any issues at all in relation to net neutrality. Conservative mantra. It didn't happen to me individually (or I didn't notice it) so it didn't happen at all. There are documented cases of ISPs blocking VoIP and peer to peer services as well as throttling streaming services. This has been explained to Mal_Fet multiple times, but he still says bullshit like that. --- http://i.imgur.com/ByKGlJb.gif http://i.imgur.com/nZdaA8D.gif http://i.imgur.com/VBLBILg.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:892259635] in Curious ho...
