    DirecTV is 200 bucks now to get everything. Internet is a bargain in comparison. AT%T bought DirecTV so when satellite dies they are in position to replace it. Business has this funny desire to make money and not go out of business. People forget that they don't exist to give you free shit. That's the gubmint's job

    If you have Verizon you need to ask yourself where you went wrong in life

    I actually travel around rather than sit in Mom's basement. And my e-coli burger joint in Montana pays my entire cell phone bill.

    Shut the fuck up. Having fast internet in your home is a necessity.

    Even for non basement dwellers.

    Nothing brings out the uninformed stupid like a net neutrality thread.

    The irony of a pirate ship message bored full of poasters that got banned or couldn't take it any more at the big corporate Doogman site and their FOX lawyers being against an open and freedom based internet is really something else.

    I see ths

    If cable companies are losing so much money because of people cutting cable TV in favor of streaming TV services, then why aren't cable companies already jacking internet rates out of control?

    It seems like, if anything, this will allow people to pay less for internet if they aren't going to be hogging a bunch of bandwidth due to streaming TV services. For example, somebody who has cable TV, DVR, On-Demand, etc.

    I see this as an opportunity for more competition. It's not the same as when Ma Bell broke up but eventually you will see resellers coming into the market to offer internet service just as there were to offer phone service and just as they do now with cell phone services. The Boost Mobiles, Straight Talks, Metro(faggy wink) PCS' of the world.

    Also people forget, and in this case the so called progressives, that technology improves and more data will be able to be delivered through the same sized pipe as time moves on.

    You think that net neutrality is stifling competition? Comcast isn't going to willingly share their last mile connections regardless of whether they are allowed to rape their customers.

    And where has this competition been for the last 20 years? ISPs have been classified under Title II for two years. We'll get it eventually, but it will be wireless, definitely not from traditional cable.

    When technology improves and there's surplus bandwidth they sure will.

    That still has nothing to do with net neutrality.

    But you have to admire my segue game at least a little, right?
