3 guesses who my new cable/internet provider is and the first two guesses don't count. - TWuG Apr 6, 08:42 5
- In theory, if the worst case came to light, users would gravitate towards providers who did not restrict content - oblique Apr 6, 08:47 3
  - Yeah, you know how many providers I have access to? ComCast. - TWuG Apr 6, 08:52 2
    - yup. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:54
    - You Commie! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 6, 08:54
- Honestly, Comcast is the least bad of all the evils. Although their customer service sucks. - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 08:46
Well, if the FCC lacks that authority, then someone should give it to them :) -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 08:40 1
- Congress will pass the Internet Freedom Act which - ironically - does the exact opposite. -- (link) - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 08:43

We're f*cked. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 08:37 5
- Yep, you're boned. The corporations can control individual protocol and website bandwidth allotments now. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 08:39 4
  - Although something struck me: If it passed, could employees of a company claim net neutrality when trying to surf banned sites? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 08:41 1
    - A business is not an ISP -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 08:41
  - For instance: You're on Comcast? Oh look, now Youtube lags ... you should try Hulu. - Beryllium Apr 6, 08:40 1
    - "Surfing porn? Not on *our* network!" "That site is hosted by a non-affiliated provider, we'll give you access for an extra charge." -- nm - TWuG Apr 6, 08:46
