see i don't agree with this. more government to fix government just makes things worse for everyone, though

its not more gov't. It something we already have.

it's possible it has to get worse before it gets better. and it may get worse for some, but may be better for others from the get go. we do not know. we have nothing of which to judge the future, because the future has not occurred yet.

The internet is such a core part of our life, I don't think we should be making decisions through unelected committee.

i don't think the vast majority of consumers care

Probably not. Technology scares a lot of people. And those who talk technology scare others with terminology.

I do really believe that almost everyone will be worse off with net neutrality. Giving corporations more control of your life is a non-starter in my opinion.

i think a large part of the hysteria and fear mongering is from people scared of being treated like your average/typical consumer

the chance of this actually impacting me or other power users is relatively low. I cannot foresee how they can actually impact my internet activities. It may cost me a bit more money but I don't pay for that anyway.

Its others I worry about.

you can ask why they must subsidize our behavior patterns, especially when they're in the majority

I doubt I am in the top 5% in terms of internet traffic. I don't watch streaming, and rarely go near my soft cap. And I could easily trim 100gb off my internet usage. I am not stealing other people's bandwidth. Its pretty rare I use the internet during peak times in fact.
