I'm not a gamer, and only occasional streamer.

Redpill me on how the removal of NN will affect me.
I generally agree with the principle of Net Neutrality, and think it's fine. But tell me the real impact it will have on me, now that it is gone.

It won't. this regulation went into effect in 2015.
Gaming doesn't use massive bandwidth. You won't notice a thing even if they started fast / slow lanes.
If you 4k netflix and the ISPs slow traffic to netflix, then you will potentially have a problem.
The backlash for ISPs doing this will be extreme. Verizon tried it and the backlash was severe enough for them to stop.
Only time will tell but the hysterics have no basis at the moment given the regulation is new and yet the internet thrived from inception to date.

ppl who want the government to control everything will reeeee while being generally unaffected.
99.999 percent of normal internet users will go about their lives being generally unaffected.
the remainder will have to pay for their bandwidth hogging, and i don't have a problem with it.

you mean like i do right now? try downloading a few 4K movies from the web and you'll find out real quick your how much it costs under obama's NN world.
the real problem is data caps..not NN. its far easier for ISPs to do what everyone is crying about NN doing without lifting a finger.
just charge after the 4th 4K movie is downloaded. Boom, no NN policy pro or con needed.

Thanks everybody. I was wondering if I needed to join in on the "REEEEEEEEEEEEEE" happening on my FB feed.
