My internet is working just fine and it is for everyone else I've talked to. Actually, the coverage seems to be better.

The dead bodies are piling up in my neighborhood.

Don't know if it's because of NN or the tax cut.

There where people here acting like the sky was falling or that we would be descending into Dante's Inferno if NN was repealed. Yet here we are.

and they'll come on now and say "not YET" but 3 months ago, they acted like every ISP was salivating at the starting line

There were people saying stuff like "NN doesn't take effect until 2 months in" yada yada yada, it's all BS and nothing bad happened.

Less regulation = good

Government does not need to be involved in the internet. The internet is not a utility, it's a commodity.

while I'm not sure we do or don't need net neutrality laws. nor do I think the ancient telecom rule book should be applied cart Blanche to it either.

we must recognize how big a role the internet plays in everything needed to function in society as a normal citizen these days. a and everything is moving this direction more and more.

ISPs said repealling Net Neutrality would increase competition.

Where is this said competition???











Let's stop with the retarded posts, ok?

Me too.

But they also increased their prices and the competition ISPs promised still isn't here.

It was amazing to see normally sane people fall for the MSM propaganda so easily.

Comcast actually increased my internet speeds by 25% (200-250mbps) free of charge and without having me do anything.

you know ISPs prioritize those sites, right? and speedtest.net is partially owned by comcast, so disregard those results completely.
