Even some major areas still offer two legit choices and if they are only Comcast and Cox you are fricked As for 5G, that is not a permanent solution over a wired connection.


You need to understand that wireless is the endgame. Will there still be fiber? Sure but the traditional wired ISP connection to the residential customer is going bye bye over the next 5-10 years and probably sooner.

It’s all about the field costs for fixed wireline/cable vs wireless, wireless has been estimated to cost 10% of what wireline/cable costs to maintain. You tell me what’s going to be the prevalent method for internet distribution, 5G is capable of 1 gig download speeds. Hell I get 35 meg download speeds on my IPhone hotspot. Lol!

I Don't like either of those companies.

Nothin like policy-making based on the hopeful growth of technology.

Why not let the tech develop into a true competitor then change policy based on real not hypothetical technology.


Shorty's view on NN is predicated on technology that has yet to be proven and still years and years away at least. Right now, we have few broadband choices and a non-NN world will yield them even more power than they already have. I'm all for changing the entire regulatory environment, but we can't just remove NN from the equation.

I remember the FCC using this excuse for keeping direct broadcast satellite off the market for two decades.

A good internet connection is not just about download speed. It also includes upload speed, latency, QoS, and connection stability.

All those are better with a wired connection.

Also wireless gets extremely degraded after 20GB or so even with an ultimated data plan.

The two won’t be equal competition

If a wireless connection can’t offer the same QoS as a wired connection now will it.

Don’t be one of those people that think Hughesnet is satellite internet is comparable to Cox.

Currently, and in those rural areas you like to use as some inane gotcha latency, upload speed, and CS decrease the farther the run

Moreover QoS is a comparative metric, not measurable so I'm unsure how your using the quality of service term here.

Perhaps if you tell us where you're copy pasta from we can just go the source. Maybe just give the name of your PR firm

Equal competition isn't required for competition to exist

For frick sake. You throw darts about people's tech ability and then post economic stupidity.

A simple fiber to cabinet solution which cuts down the last mile significantly can fix problems in rural towns.

QoS is very measurable, that’s why business plans have them in the contract that ISPs have to maintain a certain up time.

So now we need more taxpayer subsidised infrastructure to increase the monopoly and increase barrier to entry?

In comparison to ANOTHER NETWORK. lol. Seriously are you stupid? QoS is the sum of the other measurable compared to ANOTHER NETWORK.

Notwithstanding anything else, Homeys understanding of economics and business is not even junior high level.

It's impossible to even TRY to discuss those subjects with him in a substantive manner

The problem I have with NN is we are only in this position because our government awarded local monopolies. Sans that, there would be no NN dialogue.


This is what needs to be taken from all this. NN is only a thing because of government picking winners and losers.

I would prefer us deregulate the industry entirely, but we won't do that.

Not a necessary condition. It’s like saying McDonald’s isn’t a competitor in the restaurant business because Chez Stucup is so much better.
