Maybe. How much did that package cost prior to the net neutrality rules being implemented?
Removing net neutrality will increase the cost of forums like Tigerdroppings. The cable companies aren’t trying to remove net neutrality so they can charge you less money, that’s for sure. It will cost you more money on average, and the service will be lower quality

The Internet was more expensive for you in 2014?

Do you even know what Net Neutrality is? Statements like that make me wonder.

Interesting. Were you just not aware that the net neutrality rules that may be rolled back were implemented in 2015? My statement makes perfect sense given the statement from the other poster and the history of the net neutrality rules.

Yep. People have a grand view of what "net neutrality" is supposed to be. I think everyone agrees with that view. The net neutrality laws don't really do much to move us toward that goal at all.

Yep. You got it. The current "net neutrality" rules are an overstepping by our government. A fix to a problem that didn't exist. Nothing more.

Net neutrality is one step closer to having the Internet run like a public utility such as electricity, gas, or water supply.
What? How the...? Is the this the reason why people support it?
The next step to making them public utilities would be flat costs for every bit of data usage, and this price is maintained by the gov't. Not changing your speed and asking you to pay more for the "utility" for which you already paid.
This would be akin to water companies charging you more for the maximum flow to your house, otherwise your faucets will just drip.

Your premise here seems to be that just because the government is using net neutrality to tell companies how they CAN'T charge, that doesn't mean the government will use net neutrality to further tell companies how they CAN charge. You don't see how these are already the same thing?

I'm just amazed at how, up until 2014 this wasn't a problem, but now that we enacted a law called "net neutrality", if it goes away, it will now be a problem. Does that not strike anyone else as odd?

If you support net neutrality, you are just buying the lies that massive technology companies like Google are perpetuating on the internet.
General consumers think that the ISPs are the real problem, when in fact it's the people who control the information on the internet. Are you really going to side with a company that censors its search results.

Don't bother man. We've got a bunch of True Believers from Reddit who are convinced the repeal of net neutrality is the end of life on earth, while simultaneously having little to no understand of topics like peering, CDNs, etc.
And they also conveniently ignore the people pushing hardest for NN: Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc. who all have their own agenda, and it's not freedom for you or I.

Oh so ISPs were NOT caught throttling their competitions traffic?

If that’s what net neutrality leads to, frick that shite.

That is literally what it will become.

Beats siding with fricking Comcast, that literally has a lower approval rating than the IRS. Think about that for a minute on what that really means. People say to themselves “Sure the IRS steals tens of thousands of dollars from me every year, but at least they’re not Comcast.” Comcast is that bad.
