re: Net neutrality devil's advocate

What happens when NBC (Comcast) blocks Beirtbart or Infowars? CNN is owned by Time Warner. What happens if they start slowing down bandwidth to Fox News? What if someone wrote an anti Comcast blog post, and they straight up censor it and won't allow access?


I go to their competitor.

Fyi, that pricing picture, while fake, is cheaper than I pay for internet right now.

What if there are no competitors in your city? Or rural citizen's who use DSL or 4g hot spots? Big cities have choice. But millions don't.


And I think that's just an example. And it also says DSL, which I doubt you have. But considering that South Koreans get fiber networks for about $30 a month, we're getting screwed on price, even with net neutrality. But my concern is censorship and throttling. Removing net neutrality only benefits ISPs. Not the American people.

Not always an option. Where I live, just outside Nola, there's only two choices. Cox or ATT

They won't have a competitor. They can block traffic from their competitors, or they have deals with their competitors not to service your area.

That's not the price of internet. That's the EXTRA price you'll have to pay to access those services, AFTER you pay for internet, which will also get more expensive because your ISP will have no competitors.
