Well, they repealed it, I'm glad. Now all of you liberals can shut the hell up. We never had net neutrality 2 years ago... so what's the fuss?

When will you notice a change?
Other than the social media uproar, there won't be any immediate changes to your internet experience.

"Realistically, I don’t think consumers are going to see much of a difference," said Daniel Lyons, an associate professor of law at Boston College and a tech policy expert.

This is honestly one of the most uninformed and unintelligent posts that I've ever read.

You're looking at this:

No, I'm sorry for being that guy, but your ISP does not give two flying SHITS about dying people having internet access. Their interest is to make a monopoly and gain more and more money, not have a thousand dying people have a larger chance of living (wtf is that argument?)

If you were the CEO of an ISP any company and you had competition, you would obviously want to crush that competition to make more money.

Straight from the internet, what ISPs are LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO WITH NO REGULATION:

- Favoring private networks: this isn't a fictional example this happened - Comcast made a deal with Microsoft which allowed Xbox 360 bandwidth to not be counted but Netflix would stream much slower and counted towards the limit. A possible extreme: You must pay for not having a slow connection on service X, or you can pay monthly to your ISP to get their service Y, which actually increases their money and influence, creating a larger monopoly. (Remember Theodore Roosevelt's trust busting plan from school?)

This is just one example of many, not every situation can be given.

This, in turn, limits your:
- freedom of speech, press, and religion

Well fucking rip.

Dude please shut the hell up lol, how about try using google for something maybe?

ONE google search "when was net neutrality passed" yields the result:
"On February 26, 2015, the FCC ruled in favor of net neutrality by reclassifying broadband as a common carrier under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 and Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. "

I think its pretty comical how in the first sentence of your first post you say "I'm a trump supporter.."

Jesus fuck, I don't particularly want to get political but you confirm how most Europeans even stereotype Trump supporters.

Congress doesn't need to vote because the FCC can bypass them, lol

Even though i'm totaly against this stuff eventually by time it's a possibility that it might become a thing. The internet is only 20 years old (roughly) so who knows what would happen in another 20 years to the internet.

Clearly a hospital would be paying much more the the average joe for internet because of the scale of the internet they would be requiring would be much larger then required for you own home. As a Republican even I can see as history dictates this is not a good idea. The only people that want his are the internet companies because they see an opportunity to make insane amounts of money. I highly doubt that you would see only a $5 increase to use such services. Its much more likely you'll have to pay extra for specific services you want so these companies can increase their profit margins. This is not at all covering the true reason why these ISP's wanted the change, so that they can charge big companies huge amounts of money to make their service the preferred one. By either blocking access completely to competition or by throttling the competition. In that world ISP companies would charge services tons of money to be the priority service provider. This happened before with companies throttling Netflix but allowing uncapped access to XBox live. Why did they do this because Microsoft made a deal with them because they could afford to. But what about all those companies that can't afford to compete like that. As more and more things turn to the internet companies will definitely take advantage of this to screw over the consumer because the money they could make doing it is absolutely insane. It pushes us towards an internet that doesn't exist as it is today with the vast freedom of information and ideas to one of corporate interests and profit. They will be looking for every and anyway to make the most possible money. I mean imagine if an ISP went to a company and said you give us x amount of money and your website will be the only website of this type people can access. That company agrees and because they now hold a monopoly over that area they can charge consumers what ever they want for them to be able to access the service. Don't want to have to pay, well sucks to suck because you can only access that one site. Or a company like Comcast who owns NBC making their news outlets the preferred one and denying access to sites based on polical views. I can't see how this would be helpful at all in my state where only one company actually has the right to lay cable and build infustrcture. Hopefully they arn't totally dicks about this because if they are there is not another same grade ISP to turn to. The only other company has to buy from the first company who like I said before is the only company in Idaho legally able to lay cable.

i have diarrhea and its going on ajit pais face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
