Comcast needs to die.

Also, it didn't "work".. Just delayed the repeal.

What I'm trying to say is that everyone just assumes that because it's a POSSIBILITY that it could happen (even though it won't because they will dig their own financial graves the moment they do something that stupid), people keep going on about how ISPs will actually do it. As for the petitioning, it has been verified it's impossible for that to do anything this time around.

If all the main isp's do that, how would that kill them? I live in an area where only comcast is available and verizon is the most reliable mobile network. Everyone in the three towns surrounding me would have to deal with it or go with dsl. But honestly, what ever reason they have for voting out net neutrality can't be good. It still deserves attention and fear.

Do you know what is it that kills monopoly? It's monopoly itself! If they decide to charge extra fees, the people will go along with it at first, but at the same time the smaller companies will be able to steal a chunk of the market even with considerably lower speed since they won't have added fees, resulting in a huge loss of shares for the main ISPs.
ThoD
That's only part of it though and I'm too lazy and bored to explain it all in detail, so just think about it yourself, it's not that hard to predict what will happen. People will stick out their asses to big companies and get fucked over, but after some time they will decide they've had enough and change things.

Comcast buys out all those smaller companies. That's why it's all we can get here. People hate comcast for their poor service, high prices, bad customer service, etc. Still the biggest cable/Internet corporation here.
WeedZ
I'm just sayin, you should be on our side
ThoD
What's that supposed to mean? Be on your side in what sense? In spreading misinformation and assuming a POSSIBILITY is a CERTAINTY and assuming the whole world is the US? This affects ONLY the US, this isn't as serious as people make it out to be and, worst case scenario, you people in the US will have to pay a tiny bit extra for internet, but nothing much, just a coffee less

"Just a coffee less", that too, is a possibility. Knowing Comcast, as they now charge 50+/mo for "unlimited" Home data, it's not gonna just be a "coffee" less.
ThoD
And knowing how finances work, Comcast will soon lose all it's customers to smaller companies if it actually charges more.
WeedZ
You should be on our side that net neutrality shouldn't be messed with. You think it's not a big deal, or that it only affects us, but what's really happening is the door is being opened to manipulating the freedom of information. Once it's opened it just continues to grow and spread. Once other companies see how profitable it is it will be global thing.

And even if it's a USA only thing for now, it looks like Canada is having rumbles of doing the same thing. It doesn't set a good precedent. No matter if it's drastic or minor changes that happen, monopoly ISPs have been pushing this for years. I do NOT trust these large corporations to try to do anything than squeeze money out of people.

I get 8MB/s...

Lmao.
WeedZ
You're thinking of monopoly in terms of the free market propaganda supporting capitalism. If we don't like tommy's ice cream we'll just go to billy's ice cream shop. But that's not how it works with huge corporations that can crush smaller companies and have ties to political figures, like verizon and the fcc.
