I mean the idgits made it sound like the world would immediately come to an end when NN was repealed.
That was hyperbole created by this board to discredit people in favor of NN.

Desert Storm took less than 2 months. I thought these were greedy Fortune 500 companies with sinister ambitions just ready for the repeal to raise rates. Guess that was BS like almost everything else you libs say.
If they had a plan to gouge prices, it would have been planned and ready for implementation before it was repealed.

They aren't going to pull the rug out from under you all at one time, there would be enormous public backlash. What's going to happen is death by a thousand cuts spread out over a couple years. You won't really realize it's happening until you wake up and the providers are nickel and diming you for every website etc.
This has the potential to complete turn any under 60 away from the Republican party. You can screw with alot of stuff by the internet isn't one of them. Muh fast lanes though

If it is going to happen, it's not going to happen in one fell swoop. No one is going to be the first, and possibly, the only ones to jack up rates and essentially lose a large chunk of their customers.
There is potential for rates to go up and services to be gated. Just a wait and see right now.

But wait a second, I thought libs said a bunch of people live in areas with only one ISP that had a monopoly. It’s not like most people are gonna revert to having no internet over raised rates. I’m sure if ISPs wanted to raise rates, they wouldn’t hold back on these people.

If so, that's moronic.
What's your projected timeframe on when I should expect to see these "noticeable differences"?

And the Net Neutrality repeal took 7 months.
So.

The same as trump starting a nuclear war...it’ll happen, don’t you worry!

Y’all really can’t stay on topic without extreme hyperbole and red herrings can you?

I mean the guy's calling people morons for not getting this unspoken caveat that the catastrophe was not going to happen in the first 6 months of this deal, so it seems logical for him to tell us when, in his learned estimation, it will.
Or is it going to be always some point just beyond anyone telling him he was wrong about it in the first place?

This isn't a liberal/conservative issue, dummy. Support for NN was bi-partisan.

Well with all the talk of censorship by social media these days, can no one envision a not so distant future of ISPs blocking websites due to "hate speech"?
Because I can.
And if you want to call social media monopolies due to barrier of entry, then I should introduce you to the barrier of entries associated with ISPs

Kinda thought not wanting to breathe in asbestos was bipartisan as well until I saw the hoops this board will jump through to score any point possible

How would this come into play specifically with regard to Net Neutrality repeal? How is it connected?

You're trying to paint this as an us vs. them thing.. which it is... it just doesn't have anything to do with liberal vs. conservative.

Part of net neutrality was to force ISPs to treat all sites as equal. Without NN, they are free to do all the boogeyman things you have heard. That includes blocking websites.
And remember, I have never been 100% for NN, especially not how it was written, because it was an overreach.
The only thing I was/am in favor of is very basic consumer protection laws because ISPs actually are government created monopolies.

It happened to be libtards screaming about NN repeal. Those are the facts.
