What are you basing that projection on?

he has no idea.
he's attempting to use the same fear tactics that worked on him. Except for this little beta it wasnt Foxnews...
but rather access to his favorite my little pony message board that scared him.

ACA isnt a government monopoly.
I wrote that specifically to solicit a response from you
no you didnt.
you're not smart enough to move 1 step ahead. The fact you think this wiggle reply is effective proves the point.
Seriously, how stupid are you?

I find it so strange, that when government monopolies (ACA, for example) are enforced, we are supposed to hate it, but with free market monopolies are enforced, we rejoice it as a win for capitalism
This is just dumb imo...but maybe I'm not understanding your claim. Are you saying that you believe that--like ACA-- everyone-- will be mandated to buy a certain level of internet services or be fined $700. a year?
How else would your analogy make sense?

You not reading in my next post saying that it was in jest proves it.
Zip the mouth hole back up on your mask.

Yeah so funny, just wait til an SJW company buys your isp and throttles right wing sites. Oh and you can't switch bc there's no other isp in your area.

Not sure your example is helping you out here. Capitalism is working, and the safeguards against abuse, ie LAWS, prevailed. That's just based on your one sentence blurb without knowing the details.
Why do some of you think Government intervention in a market is a good thing this time? It's failed the public every time it's been tried.

This will only increase the amount we pay for internet service. I can remember when I paid $35 a month for cable with the same thing I have now that I pay $152 a month for(not including sec network or HBO).
DirecTV? Well, DirecTV is an excellent example of the free market at work. The latest thing over the past couple years has been cutting the cord. Many of my friends have done this, and it has saved them plenty. Big cable providers have been sweating so now they have been forced to cut costs and offer promotions to keep their existing customers. My bill recently went from $139/month to $45/month due to promotions. And though these promotions expire in 1 year, i can pretty much guarantee you there will be renewed promotions if the cord cutting trend continues.
Competition forces companies to lower their prices or lose customers.

I like how so much of the reasoning people give for being anti-NN has more to do with Obama, melts, and lib tearz than any substantive benefits of repealing NN.
This. I’m as MAGA as they come, and I have yet to hear an argument against net neutrality that was different than these:
1) Remove government from the internet
2) Stick it to Obama
3) Watch the melt
4) Well, we’ve lived without it before
None of those are merits. We need SOME government regulation. Currently, if you don’t like your internet/cable provider, you can’t do dick about it. But at least you can cancel cable and stream. (Although, they jacked up my internet cost to $70 per month for doing that. Oh goodie. I could get it for $20 per month if I bundled it with $100 worth of channels I don’t want.)
Now, I understand you’ll call it “fearmongering”, but why would the cable companies allow this now? They will either slow it down or make it expensive. It’s just common sense.
It’s not capitalism. It’s corporatism disguised as capitalism.
My hope is that Google Fiber starts making progress and dominating these blackmailing assholes.
