does anyone remember that stuff?

ajit pai anyone?

>implying allowing ISPs to throttle your connection to certain sites is a good thing

well are they?

Should they even be allowed to?

but are they?

I've read some stuff about ISPs throttling league of legends but that may be older news, I haven't been following the news on net neutrality admittedly

It's the worry that corporations who can do shitty shit for more money will do it

throtltin gon leauge

would make sense

cuz i get lag sometimes

and ym internet is fucking perfect

*my

Should be throddling Fortnite 😉

i think effectively putting price controls on the internet makes it slower for everyone
which is fair i guess in a commie type of fair

but isn't it now a state, thing?

i thought this removal thing was only on federal level

yeah
but to me seems kinda hard to argue that californa or new jersey basically stopped the bad corporations from taking over the internet

California seems okay with violating the law anyway when its convenient

yeah that too

but i'm just wondering when the internet is gonna be dead from ajit pai

Its not, i said it before it got repealed,

It most likely wont do anything, companies are out for getting money, which means they'll want people to accept their services,

If they start throddling big places, people will get upset and move to another ISP who does

The removal of net neutrality hasn't really had an impact yet but ISPs in the US often have regional monopolies, people don't want to give the ISPs so much power over what their users can do with their service when there's no alternative

The ISPs wanted net neutrality repealed for a reason

but if they ruin those regions, there WILL be alternatives, cuz they see "hmm, heres thousands of new potential people i can steal"

before that it was "well, i can't "outperform" that company so i wont try to take over"

I doubt it, see data caps in rural areas

and people were stuck with shitty internet cuz theres no alternative

they already had that

in general US ISP's are shitty mind you 😛

Yeah, data caps were being placed on rural users and they have no option but to give their ISP more money to use their internet past the cap

Competition has not happened

not profitable enough yet

You have local fiber popping up here and there though which is good

Hopefully that becomes more popular

if it becomes succesful enough, it will prolly

@Dr.Wol internet gets slower

Have 1mbps today had 1mbps 10years ago

That's anecdotal evidence to be fair

i used to have 1 mbps, but my ISP upgraded the minimum package to be 5 mbps 😄 so i had no choice
