ISPs can offer better speeds for different pricing, but they can't manipulate the content. Which means you can shop around for a better level of speed, but all the content is treated the same. With the ending of net neutrality, your ISP can manipulate the rate at which you download some sites, or not allow you to download them at all. To use your analogy with the power company, you may find the power provided is limited when they know you'll need it most and charge a premium to access it "fully".

If your ISP decides to take some retarded moral stance, you may not like that they are the ones deciding whether or not you can go to a sports gambling forum. Or, for the privilege to visit that forum, a premium may need to be paid for the gambling package.

Thank you - this response was very helpful!

Before Net Neutrality became law, here's some examples of what was happening:

-AT&T censored a live stream of a Pearl Jam concert after they criticized then president Bush
-Verizon blocked texts from an abortion rights group because they were too controversial
-Verizon blocked Google Wallet downloads on phones it sold because it was launching a competing app

Forget it it now. The Republicans took it away.

:facepalm:

You have to call these Motherfuckers out

"They" also told Airlines they don't have to disclose fees to consumers any longer
"They" are working to lower the Corporation Tax rate for these Billion dollar Corporations

Might as well move this to Politics now because these Motherfuckers have no scruples

"They" are also dismantling the consumer protection bureau.....because they are looking out for our best interest. It's awesome. We're so fucking dumb. These guys get elected by telling people they believe in Jesus, guns, and the working man and then as soon as they get in office they do everything they can to support the big corporations and donors. And then, the dumb people that got conned keep supporting them. It's insanity.

Same thing could have been/was said about things Obama did. Not only did they keep supporting him, they got in line to kiss Hillary's ass, which is exactly why we are stuck with Trump.


This is a government problem, not a Dem/Rep problem.

If Obama was all about big business, why is it the Republican mission to reverse everything he did? Net Neutrality, Health Care, Consumer Protection, environmental regulation, civil rights, etc.
