Trustbusting

Comcast is nothing more than an ISP to me, and it doesn't have a monopoly. I can switch to Verizon Fios if I want to.

Can you switch to a service that actually competes directly with Comcast?
Is there a reason that splitting Comcast into separate companies, in direct competition with each other, would be disadvantageous to the consumer.
In many places the only options available are
one cable company or DSL through a phone service. Cable has a monopoly on internet service with enough bandwidth to accommodate the ever increasing demands of the modern internet. DSL is not in competitive parity. Comcast can charge whatever they want with impunity.

That's what Verizon FiOS is, you dumbass.

Let's have all of them shot.

Why do I have to pick between Verizon and Comcast? Rev up those antitrust laws.

This needs to happen. You want a solution to this net neutrality issue: Option 3 -- THIS

You don't. You could pick any number of local ISPs, if you're willing to go in for the installation fees. Or, you could have nothing at all.

Antitrust laws don't exist just for you to have an avenue to grind axes against corporations. At the end of the day you need to take control of how you spend your money instead of asking the nanny state to fight your battles for you.

Unfortunately, Google is really leading the pack on this. We'll all end up with free internets everywhere, with ads everywhere and tracking our info

But I did pick a local ISP running off some lines they leased from Verizon. I put in a whole bunch of time trying to help them configure their shit. Don't you play with me. If you think I'm doing that again you're wrong and I hope everybody dies painfully.

And then they went tits up because they offered a good service at a good price, and the cartels couldn't have that.

Only gassing the kikes will solve this.

A lot of places don't have any other options.
