They say they won't block, throttle or discriminate against any content and you're angry...

It's the height of stupidity

Nope. That's what they said in March.

And if your ISP decides that that only liberal sites get access to the fast lanes you'll be completely calm. I mean, they wouldn't be blocking, throttling, or discriminating would they?

They removed "Comcast doesn't prioritize Internet traffic or create paid fast lanes".



They also said that they will not block, slow down, or discriminate lawful content.

Why did you ignore that part? Why are you being blatantly dishonest?

I would think that "pledge" would make Comcast subscribers that like Net Neutrality happy.

If Comcast decides to sell a standard 50 MB package with an option for faster access (gigabit for example) to certain subscription sites, that would be a great thing for consumers.

Because ISPs never "update their service terms" right?

They're priming to frick over the internet mass consumers! You might actually have to pay for your bandwidth consumption that goes above the average user. The horror.


These pathetic Sky Screamers are so damn transparent.

That's really all they are worried about.

And will their service term be, "we will no longer allow our users to visit conservative websites"?

Would them changing it to "will not" make you happy? Because, you see, well, uh, it said "will not" before.

Consumers regulate businesses FAR more effectively than the Feds ever could. I'm not sure why people are willing to have the Fed gov't regulate the Internet. A quick glance at Obamacare should be all you need to know about gov't regulation.....

if they don't slow down regular content, who cares?

why do you care if people want to pay more for better access? how does it affect you if the other plans don't change?

if they don't slow down non-liberal sites, it will affect him 0% so why would he care?
