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 06:17:53 UTC  

/sarcasm

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...

2018-05-07 06:20:01 UTC  

They've been doing a really shit job of it then.

2018-05-07 06:20:13 UTC  

are u kekkin'?

2018-05-07 06:20:19 UTC  

The warranty stickers thing was a great step in the right direction but their handling of ISPs has been shit at best.

2018-05-07 06:20:32 UTC  

uhhhm no

2018-05-07 06:20:39 UTC  

they're doing fine

2018-05-07 06:21:00 UTC  

Yeah. Artificial speed limits when there's no issues with throughput are totally great for the end consumer.

2018-05-07 06:21:18 UTC  

dude you are living in fantasy land

2018-05-07 06:21:21 UTC  

I can understand slowdown if there's huge amounts of data going all at the same time.

2018-05-07 06:21:26 UTC  

go read a huffpost article

2018-05-07 06:21:34 UTC  

5000ms and sub 1mb up/down because you weren't paying enough at the time.

2018-05-07 06:21:39 UTC  

And 20 or 30 phone calls doing nothing.

2018-05-07 06:21:41 UTC  

that is false

2018-05-07 06:21:43 UTC  

That ain't right.

2018-05-07 06:21:50 UTC  

I'm speaking from personal experience.
