    Comcast paid for the regulations.

    Comcast is literally the shittiest company in the history of the world.

    When I lived in Baltimore I had to drive like 25 minutes to go to the Comcast store to replace the piece of shit DVR like 5 times a year and I would wait an hour and a half with a bunch of ghetto smelly fucktards.

    It's like the DMV but filled with Somalian refugees.
    Strangely Comcast business is pretty fucking good.
    No competition and all

    Cox is slightly worse. I've had to deal with both.

    Your first mistake was living in Balmer.

    The Wire barely did that hellhole justice.
    Not too far behind Detroit. What else do they have in common?

    Damn - when I lived there it was always Baltmer - filled with Baltimorons. I lived near Ace Point which I never knew was really East Point.
    TV show "Homicide life on the street" depicted Baltmer quite accurately

    No love for The Wire?

    The heart of the disagreement is not over "net neutrality" per se, it's over government policy under the heading of net neutrality; a litany of government regulation and classification as a public utility that result in excessive government control. Hand wringing over aims to change policy on this is at this point a lot like defending Obamacare on the basis that the Affordable Care Act is affordable (or free) just because it says so in the name.

    It is not my fault if you have comcast. Take responsibility for your actions

    If you want the choice to not have comcast you don't want regulation as a utility

    A world where the FCC is part of a corrupt administration. Buy the regs you want when you know they are coming.

    It's how it's done. One step away from a shakedown

    Instead of making up weird conspiracies just say it's part of the Republican platform and admit that's why you agree.
    Why not pull your head our of your ass instead? Read the Forbes article SD quoted

    Or just rattle dnc propaganda

    Indeed, the 2015 order devotes almost no discussion to the rules at all. It is one part net neutrality, and 99 parts public utility—including a return to the Ma Bell days of regulated rates, services, and artificial barriers to entry.

    I suspect most of the snowflakes in here are oblivious to the Ma Bell days, let alone the days when air travel was regulated in the same manner. Airline deregulation in particular was a huge win for the people. It opened up competition and brought rates crashing down so that the average person could easily afford air travel. No one in their right mind would want a return to the days prior to deregulation, and yet, snowflakes are supporting just such a move on internet service. Pai's positions are consistent with those of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. Godspeed to him.
    to be honest, I miss the old days of weight restricted stewardesses wearing short tight skirts.

    This is not the point of net neutrality. Net neutrality means maintaining the status quo: open and free internet.

    Comcast and every other ISP can keep making money just fine as is. But they want to change the rules to squeeze people for more. Fuck that.

    So are you saying you are in favor of turning internet access into a utility like the power company or water department?

    That's a serious question - it has been done in some municipalities.

    No. And that is not the debate at all.

    Choice 1) status quo

    Choice 2) unchecked power granted to ISPs

    I want unchecked power granted to me. Maybe I'll become an ISP
