The incessant whining and crying by pro-NN folks, coupled to the support for NN by entities like Google have persuaded me.


Repeal it. 100%.

This is the type of argument most often employed by pro-NN people. Hence my decision.

Seems like a bargain. Some tard around here (on the NN bandwagon) is paying $180 to Comcast each month. If yours is an example of no NN, then the choice appears to be very clear.

Hate to show my ignorance on this matter, but am willing to do so if I can gain some insight. Can someone please provide the most compelling reasons to keep NN, as well as, the most compelling reasons to get rid of it.

1. Don't let the FCC censor the internet and be the gatekeeper for what gets put on the internet.

2. My internet speeds have been getting faster and cheaper without NN.

3. This answer looking for a problem gives the government a foot in the door for regulating the internet.

4. Investment in infrastructure will grind to a halt if companies are forced to share lines they installed with others. Our internet speeds are only beaten by small countries with dense populations. Germany, Italy, and other EU countries that treat the internet as a utility rank near the bottom in speeds.

speedtest.net fixed broadband rankings

ETA:
The house I'm moving in to in 2 weeks is wired for Cox and att fiber. I'm going to go with att 100 mbps for $50 with the option of upgrading to 1000 mbps for $70.

So censorship, cost and speed are the big issues?

Germany and England have much better internet than the US.

Basic speeds of 25meg are cheap as frick.

I had 100 down for 20 euro a month and 100 down fiber for around £25 a month. Good luck getting that price in America.

Seems that way. But I can't get a straight answer on what happens with or without NN. More importantly, the NN crowd just hurls insults so I've decided to just go anti-NN. Plus Google is for NN and there's no way Google supports anything that is good for the rest of the people.
