Months after NN repeal, the internet is still fine, what happened to the sky screamers?

Haven’t seen any throttling between sites, the prices from my ISP are the same, and I’m enjoying gaming and streaming like before. I want to say the experience is actually a bit better.
But I thought the NN sky screamers here said we would be throttled into the Stone Age?
This is proof we didn’t need that burdensome federal regulation. Outside of places like leftist redditers and Dems in Congress, I don’t see anyone complaining about NN repeal. Thank you Mr. Pai.

Most are probably in the pile of bodies in the streets.

Dude, where have you been? I have been climbing over the millions of dead bodies in the street.

Street Sweeping Crews and Equipment have improved a lot in the new millennium/century. All those dead bodies got swept up very well leaving virtually no trace.
All the practice with the NN body cleanup has kept the streets clear over Tax Cuts and Travel bans too.
Next up is the Supreme Court Nom body cleanup.

Charter Spectrum sent me a new modem for no up charge to upgrade my speed from 60 Mbps to 200 Mbps.

Did y'all think there'd be noticeable differences overnight?
If so, that's moronic.

To think some people have been worried about Mark Dice getting removed, what were they thinking?

While competition is generally weak with ISPs, it still (mostly) exists. Unless illegal collusion occurs to agree on jacking up prices, if one ISP totally screws over their customers, the other one will be there to pick up the pieces (and revenue).
What is needed isn't more government regulation but making it easier for people to enter that market.
Who is more likely to cause piles of dead bodies: a corporation or a government?

Yeah, that's how these things usually play out right? I don't think anyone was expecting ISP's to drastically change their plans shortly after the decision was made.

If they start screwing us the second they're legally allowed to, everyone will know what's going on and the outrage will be enough to get it repealed. So they wait a little for us to forget and slowly bleed us dry.
NN provides zero benefit to the consumer, so why would they bother spending millions lobbying to get rid of it if they're never going to do anything with it?
I don't get why people side with billionaires over themselves.

They aren't going to pull the rug out from under you all at one time, there would be enormous public backlash. What's going to happen is death by a thousand cuts spread out over a couple years. You won't really realize it's happening until you wake up and the providers are nickel and diming you for every website etc.
This has the potential to complete turn any under 60 away from the Republican party. You can screw with alot of stuff by the internet isn't one of them. Muh fast lanes though

Tax cuts killed them.

To bring the US into the globalist utopia they would have to control the internet. Globalism can’t work with true unfettered journalism and free flow of information and ideas. They have the journalist they must have the net to succeed.

Omlandshark swore kids would lose their college funds cause it was going to cost 10k a month for cable/internet

Hilarious.
You were just on whining about private companies kicking Jones off the net last night.

Well, not many folks will go on record stating that their pornhub streams are slower.
Or so my friend has told me.

It's about the slow creep, the long game, not the short game. The problem is that NN represented a false choice between a rock and a hard place, both looking to screw the consumer and control thought and competition.
