Nope.

2018-05-07 06:13:43 UTC  

And that's kind of the problem.

2018-05-07 06:13:48 UTC  

well, yeah.

2018-05-07 06:14:02 UTC  

It's a problem regardless of who owns them

2018-05-07 06:14:13 UTC  

Something something title 2 let them handle the infrastructure, including improvements, which they've basically been slacking on because there's no reason to whatsoever.

2018-05-07 06:14:26 UTC  

or, sorry, i think they own many modules attached to the poles

2018-05-07 06:14:26 UTC  

Like I said

2018-05-07 06:14:27 UTC  

And the companies have gotten so big that the little guy isn't going to be able to bring them down.

2018-05-07 06:14:28 UTC  

5 up

2018-05-07 06:14:29 UTC  

10 down

2018-05-07 06:14:35 UTC  

I'm living in the past.

2018-05-07 06:14:41 UTC  

Net neutrality is definitely ugly, if you don't trust the government.

2018-05-07 06:14:48 UTC  

I don't.

2018-05-07 06:14:50 UTC  

But that's the only patchwork solution we have right now.

2018-05-07 06:14:56 UTC  

and they were concerned because any disruption of their equipment could harm thousands of customers' service

2018-05-07 06:15:00 UTC  

Create a different solution then.

2018-05-07 06:15:19 UTC  

The other option is 5 up 10 down with the threat that you're getting 1 up 2 down for everything that isn't Approved by Comcast™.

2018-05-07 06:15:36 UTC  

Because that's how everything seems to be poised to go.

2018-05-07 06:15:47 UTC  

Either that or them vacuuming up your data because there's no viable alternatives to the big 3.

2018-05-07 06:15:49 UTC  

that's entirely wrong dude

2018-05-07 06:16:20 UTC  

Many of the fears that you have about a lack of control with the FCC

2018-05-07 06:16:23 UTC  

removing net neutrality opens the door to competition and innovation, creating better service

2018-05-07 06:16:24 UTC  

the FTC already handles

2018-05-07 06:16:49 UTC  

abuses were handled before NN was established

2018-05-07 06:16:58 UTC  

and there rarely were abuses

2018-05-07 06:17:18 UTC  

there were like 4 but 3 of them were dismissed in court

2018-05-07 06:17:32 UTC  

ah-ha!

2018-05-07 06:17:36 UTC  

but you admit there WERE abuses!

2018-05-07 06:17:42 UTC  

Ban Fully Automatic Assault ISPs

2018-05-07 06:17:49 UTC  

Hmmm.

2018-05-07 06:17:52 UTC

2018-05-07 06:18:07 UTC  

i know vro

2018-05-07 06:18:21 UTC  

GEP what was that

2018-05-07 06:18:54 UTC  

I'm a little behind on the times. Wasn't aware they pushed the FTC as the replacement for net neutrality.

2018-05-07 06:19:22 UTC  

what are u saying vro

2018-05-07 06:19:22 UTC  

It was never pushed

2018-05-07 06:19:24 UTC  

it always existed.

2018-05-07 06:19:33 UTC  

FTC is the federal trade commission

2018-05-07 06:19:59 UTC  

I may have cited the wrong organization...
