Your only reason for not liking it was nextflix and that it would cost 10 more

It wouldn’t be just Netflix it would be all kinds of services and websites

This is why I basically only snipe at this point.

It's futile.

You guys haven't even the slightest idea what you're talking about.

You still can’t explain why all traffic should not be treated the same.

“There are a lot of ways to describe net neutrality, but my favorite has its roots with justice [Antonin] Scalia: Pizza delivery. Imagine you are in a town with two pizza places — Domino’s and Papa John’s — and one phone company, AT&T. In a normally functioning free market, if you want to order pizza you are likely to call whichever pizza place that tastes best to you or has the best bang for your buck. But let’s say AT&T and Domino’s cut a special deal where any calls to Domino’s are favored over the calls going to other pizza places. So anyone calling Papa John’s has to wait behind everyone else calling Domino’s. For most people even if you might think Papa John’s tastes better, you know you will get your pizza faster if you choose Domino’s.

Worse, let’s say AT&T acquired Domino’s and profits directly from Domino’s profits. Now AT&T has even more reason to block or throttle calls going to Papa John’s. We doubt any new pizza shops are going to set up shop near you if they know they are facing this kind of unfair treatment from the established big guys. So, here we have fewer choices and higher prices for everyone involved. The strong net neutrality rules currently on the books prevent big providers like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast from favoring one pizza chain — or in the case of internet, content creator — over another. It means all traffic and content travels over your connection at an equal pace. This means more entrants to the market, more reasons for people to continue making their services better, and happier customers, whether they prefer Domino’s or something else.

Scalia totally gets NN

Once again you have no idea and can’t explain your point thinking traffic should be treated differently.

Once again you have no idea and can’t explain your point thinking traffic "should "be treated differently.

I realize I've already had to cover this ground before, and I'm loathe to do it again.............but "should" isn't a market question.

As a practical issue.. there are immediate steps that can be taken to protect consumers

Protect consumers from a "might"

I'm against legislating against "might"

You should be too. It sets a nasty precedent.

There's no "might" about it. It's been an issue multiple times with a variety of ISPs in the last decade

Two. One got called out in public and quickly changed their policy due to market pressure.

The other was Netflix taking advantage of peering courtesies. The ISP correctly made Netflix compensate for this courtesy because Netflix was unable to return the courtesy like occurred between other peering networks.


Both issues resolved without Title II or NN.

ETA: This shite is what pisses me off about folks like you. You read something on Reddit or a social media site and then go parrot the talking points without understanding the actual details...and the people who created the talking points you parrot also don't understand the actual details.

So you can’t give an actual answer
