SnakeePoo @solid_snake95 FIGHT THE FCC!

Deleted User @__removed_2febdcff2cGILeMdar you know that's ENTIRELY up to the Internet Service Providers to offer the internet in a bundled deal. if any ISM tries that, then its OBVIOUSLY going to get them backlash, boycott and a loss of customers. Most of the reasons they wanted to remove the classification of it as a telecommunication service is because NETFLIX didn't want to pay COMCAST for more Bandwidth. BEFORE 2015 (when Net Neutrality was established), any time a Internet Service Provider stepped out of line, the FCC Filed a lawsuit or pressed for charges to STOP unfair practices with the internet. basically gutting net neutrality MEANS we go back to the system we had in 2014. Back in 2014 did we have packaged bundled deals for the internet? No, we didnt. we got the same speeds and pricing that we have now. only thing different is that they are not paying for a One Size Fits All Bandwidth. You used to have to pay more to get more bandwidth (meaning THE COMPANY HAD TO INSTALL MORE INFRASTRUCTURE, i.e. WIRES and BOXES) Classifying it as a Telecommunication Service MEANS more expensive permits and regulations that would prevent smaller businesses from setting up T5 lines, Fiber internet connections, Wireless Relayed internet and the like because the start up costs would be MUCH Higher. Most of the information spread around is fear mongering at best. As before net Neutrality, the FCC had taken on Verizon, Comcast, AT&T, and enforced equal protections, and to fine and take them to court when they stepped out of line...

ロイ @wallace614 We are fucked in the long run

Deleted User @__removed_2febdcff2cGILeMdar how? i dont recall having blocked content, paying more than i do now or having tiered internet back before 2015 when they reclassified and regulated the internet...

Deleted User @__removed_2febdcff2cGILeMdar and i dont see how signing up for a mailing list so they can collect my money and sell my email address and phone number is going to help for any cause...

SnakeePoo @solid_snake95 Sorry for not replying sooner. Had to go talk to the highschoolers again about the merchant mariners and my union as a career choice. I see your points Daggerfella, and I can understand how it may not be an end of the world. However it still is really inconvenient this happening and adapting.
