No you fucking cant, at least a lot of us can't. I live in a small town in the cornfields of Illinois and the only ISP that services this whole town is At&t. The highest speed I can get without paying out the ass even more than I already do is 12 mbps. This is some of the shittiest internet I've ever had, constant dropouts that go minutes before I can reconnect, slow speeds, horrible customer service who's sent a guy out on 3 separate occasions to fix the same fucking thing that they supposedly fixed last time, all tied together with outrageous monthly fees. No other ISP covers this area, so I'm stuck with this unless I'd rather have even shittier satellite internet

That or you don't trust the FCC to control the internet.

A simple law that requires ISPs to provide equal service to all customers and websites was all that was needed and is widely supported by both political parties.

But that's not what Obama did. Obama drastically expanded the powers of the FCC in a possibly unconstitutional manner to allow the FCC to regulate internet use in the same manner they regulate the telephone network. The real reason you're hearing so many corporations come out in favor of net neutrality is that the regulations that are in place suppress their competition and keep them from being asked to pay more for their bandwidth usage by the telecom companies.

And you thought it was about consumer choice....

Net Neutrality gives the FCC (the people who censor television and radio) MORE regulatory power over the internet.

If anything removing it makes it harder for the government to control the internet.

And it's not like they need fucking excuses to charge people, Comcast admitted publicly that they have data plans for no other reason than to charge people extra money.

It really doesn't, because getting rid of whatever NN rules are currently in place doesn't prevent the FCC from placing rules about what/how data flows through the internet.

Also this is really a non-argument, where you equate all forms of regulation with all other forms of regulation, even though they are drastically different, so I can only assume that you have no fucking clue what net neutrality actually is.

Because that's going to affect whether I think you're probably wrong.

Because ISPs shouldn't have the ability to regulate what we see online, and frankly, neither should the government. But the FCC should have powers in place that prevents private interests from violating net neutrality laws.

The government should have the teeth to enforce net neutrality, stop zero rating, and other policies like it. We need someone who is capable of kicking the ever loving tar out of these greedy fucks. Because the internet is much more than profit.

>Being anti net neutrality is wanting to give the ISPs power to control what websites you can access

No, its not. That's not even close to what's been proposed..

What's happened is that the ISPs had to build new infrastructure to provide the services for things like Netflix, Facebook, Google and Pornhub which by themselves take up a majority of the bandwidth. The ISPs want to charge those companies more for their services and the regulations prevent them from doing so.

This is a corporate fight masquerading as a consumer affairs issue. That's why you see all of these companies and lobbyists throwing their weight (and money) behind it.

>>383771858

>What level of idiocy are you on? A law that prohibits ISPs from arbitrarily slowing connections to sites they dislike is somehow "Government Control."

That's not what net neutrality does. You don't even know what you're talking about and you should be ashamed of your ignorance.

Net Neutrality gave the FCC the same regulatory powers over the internet that it has over the telephone network.

>>383771906

>Also this is really a non-argument, where you equate all forms of regulation with all other forms of regulation, even though they are drastically different, so I can only assume that you have no fucking clue what net neutrality actually is.

It extends the law that the FCC used to regulate and break up the telephone monopoly in the 1930s to internet ISPS by reclassifying ISPs as a Title II telecommunications service.

I know exactly what net neutrality is and the powers that it entails. You clearly don't.

It isn't that our companies are somehow more evil you retard, it's that the government at local, state, and federal level did business with these companies and struck deals when it comes to laying down and creating the infrastructure, but then gave the reins to the companies. It's all but impossible for there to be competition. They have all-but monopolies even in major urban areas due to this. It isn't feasible to come in and offer a better service or undercut the big guy. You literally can't. It's a utility at this point (and it should fucking be, considering how a lot of line was funded/put in and where it s) so it should be regulated as such.

Getting rid of net neutrality would be like having centerpoint energy own powerplants and GE appliances and charge you more for not using GE or make your non-GE appliances run like shit.

I live in Philadelphia, where Comcast is headquartered, where their non-outsourced support staff are headquartered, where they own a skyscraper, two arenas, the hockey team, and the NBC affiliate.

As you can imagine, the local government likes to "thank" Comcast for shoveling all their money into this city. They're the only game in town, and new companies aren't allowed to even lay their own cable (if they had the money for that) because Comcast got a law passed (this may be nationwide, not sure) that lets them charge anyone that adds new network infrastructure or tries to use their preexisting cables. They don't have a monopoly, it's just impossible for anyone new to get involved.

It's even worse if you live in the city. Verizon showed up with fiber at some point and I didn't even know until I moved into the suburbs because Comcast made deals with apartment buildings to only let their tenants get Comcast internet, because the landlord decides what cable is run in the building. These kinds of things are common in America. Imagine how much worse it would get if there was no regulation at all.

Internet sucks in America and if you buy the "Obamacare for the internet" cock and bull you're a fucking retard.

If ISPs start to charge more to companies like Facebook and Google, they're going to charge less for their own vertically integrated services. Which will divide what we can and cannot use on our daily lives.

This will also stop innovation entirely on the internet, as finding end user connection service will cost individual companies money, and it will cost a site like 4chan money to connect to it's users, if NN is abolished.

Anti NN policies will literally consolidate the globe's infrastructure and the entire use of it into a handful of companies which will then act as gatekeepers to what will get used.

You should educate yourself, my man. You cannot even as a libertarian stand against net neutrality without being a complete hypocrite.
>>
Why would anyone be PRO Net neutrality?

Why would anyone want more government intervention on the INTERNET of all things.
Where do people come up with conspiracy theories of ISPs blocking websites or package access to certain websites, that's literally unheard of.

Americans are just overreacting like usual and crying that the sky is falling while when it actually happens, nothing will change. No governmental intervention is a good thing for everything and especially the internet.

Too fucking bad. It doesn't matter what the data running through the tubes is-- it's fucking irrelevant.

The internet has changed and requires more bandwidth than ever and its up to those companies to provide the service or not. They are the ISPs.
>But but but they have to pay for the lines
And they fight tooth and nail to be the only ones allowed to. Look at Google's attempts to enter the market and lay down line to be competition. Oh right, they can't! Until there can be competition, regulation is needed.

Those laws protecting net neutrality were only passed in 2015 because that was the first time that NN was really threatened. Before 2015, the ISPs hadn't realized that they could jew us out of even more money by throttling access to certain sites. Even so, all this shit still happened before 2015.
2005 - Madison River Communications was blocking VOIP services. The FCC put a stop to it. https://www.cnet.com/news/telco-agrees-to-stop-blocking-voip-calls/

2005 - Comcast was denying access to p2p services without notifying customers.

2007-2009 - AT&T was having Skype and other VOIPs blocked because they didn't like there was competition for their cellphones. http://fortune.com/2009/04/03/group-asks-fcc-to-probe-iphone-skype-restrictions/

2011 - MetroPCS tried to block all streaming except youtube. https://www.wired.com/2011/01/metropcs-net-neutrality-challenge/

2011-2013, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon were blocking access to Google Wallet because it competed with their bullshit. http://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-blocking-google-wallet-2011-12

2012, Verizon was demanding google block tethering apps on android because it let owners avoid their $20 tethering fee. This was despite guaranteeing they wouldn't do that as part of a winning bid on an airwaves auction. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-tech/post/fcc-fines-verizon-125m-for-blocking-tethering-apps/2012/07/31/gJQAXjRLNX_blog.html

2012, AT&T - tried to block access to FaceTime unless customers paid more money. https://www.freepress.net/press-release/99480/att-blocking-iphones-facetime-app-would-harm-consumers-and-break-net-neutrality

2013, Verizon literally stated that the only thing stopping them from favoring some content providers over other providers were the net neutrality rules in place. https://www.savetheinternet.com/blog/2013/09/18/verizons-plan-break-internet

The issue of NN has been hard fought for, for a long time now. ISPs have always tried to create vertically integrated services. Remember AOL and it's various services? Before, they could not throttle access or remove it to various sites. Also in recent memory was the BBSes and other predecessors which you had to pay a lot of money for, to access very little content, which was all gated by the company.

It wasn't until very recently that people lost this memory and libertarians started demanding to lick boots harder.

the issue is very simple in nature. currently in the us and many other european nations the internet is classed as an appliance, like water and electricity.
you pay for what you get. the us usually has datacaps but the rest of the world has a flatrate approach. you pay for the desired amount of speed and you get that with out any restrictions to any website that you can reach.
isp want to be greedy as fuck though. lets say you are youtube. for your internet connect you pay a shitload more money than the average joe because you move a lot more traffic. everywhere else in the world its working as intended. companies pay more because they need to move more traffic.
this does not work in the us though. because the US infrastructure is incredibly shit. this isnt the main reason though. now imagine for a second. what could happen if you could charge people extra money for visiting certain sites or using certain services? thats exactly whats gonna happen. lets say google is paying comcast as their isp. well comcast can now overcharge google by a shotload of money and not only that they can charge other people extra money to access youtube in the first place in addition to their internet access fee. it might not be flat out access but at the very least "fast" access. which currently would be just regular access as your used to it.
you get the idea, its all about money.
now heres how it affects everyone in the world. internet traffic that is passing through american servers is american traffic, thus falls under american law. and because you rarely actually directly connect to a server but instead jump through several hoops to get to your actual destination it will affect you regardless of where you are, because like 70% of the internet is hosted in america.

Except it's literally not. It might become their right, but that will make the internet worse for literally everybody not on the ISPs' payroll, so people are fighting it. And if you believe that the situation is as simple as that, you've been had, my friend. If you give them the power to selectively throttle internet access, they will ABSOLUTELY, abuse it to fuck us over. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how much. Being anti net neutrality is being in favor of furthering the already huge problem of ISP monopolies, and it honestly makes no sense.

> Remember AOL and it's various services?

And you also remember what happened to AOL? That's the problem with you guys who are for the government's intervention: you have no trust in humankind or the common man. People are smarter than you take them for, and ceos at these cable companies arent waiting to buttfuck you anymore than they already are. Believe me, if they could right now, they would be charging everyone a whole lot more. But then they wouldnt be getting business except to the most wealthy of people. And that will have more competition come into play seeing this black out. Even the government would incenticize this at that point considering how important the internet is in our day and age.

So while you continue to believe that no NN is doomsday, remember that NN was a shill method to begin with that didnt exist until three years ago. That's over fifteen years that the internet existed without it.

Believe me, if you're afraid of it's removal, it's because you're being jewed by the actual jew.

Imagine if AOL from the get go had the ability to speed up it's own services, or not charge for their use. Or to slow other services down. That would incentivize their customers to only use AOL products, which would have limited their freedom of choice. Due to that influence.
Now what if AOL had the ability to block sites it's consumers could view.

I would not want that kind of future for America. That is a future where people who are not accountable to me, control exactly what I see and that's inherently against freedom of speech. It goes against the values of competition and innovation and choice, as a libertarian.

Net Neutrality is not a government regulation. It is a government enforcement to stop private companies from regulating what you see on the internet. The fact is that we need this set of laws for the internet to function as it is.

Now you're starting to see the big picture. In the end, the companies that try to abuse their market power are going to get hurt the most. The entirety of history has shown the same thing in a capitalist society. Someone tries to abuse as much as possible and they get upset by an intervention of a competitor. What you guys are not realizing is that these cable companies may be few in different cities, but the city is still beholden to its people. And if you stress your people of a bad service, then the city will simply find a new internet provider that will offer a better deal for its citizens. Which has happened EVERY TIME IN HISTORY.

>>383773090
>and ceos at these cable companies arent waiting to buttfuck you anymore than they already are. Believe me, if they could right now, they would be charging everyone a whole lot more.
They aren't going to just wake up one day and charge everyone a hundred bucks more a month, they're going to ratchet prices up slowly like they always have, include hidden fees and shit like that. They're the reason usage caps exist.
>remember that NN was a shill method to begin with that didnt exist until three years ago
Current inception of NN was created to deal with the shit that the FCC has been putting up with for years. ISPs have been trying to fuck consumers for as long as they've realized there are consumers to fuck.
>it's because you're being jewed by the actual jew.
This is a tantalizing meaningless sentence, who's the "actual jew" in this situation? Consumers who don't want to be charged extra money to access certain websites?
Smaller content providers who wouldn't be able to pony up as much cash as the larger companies to get access to the fast lane?
Or maybe it's the ISPs who look for every excuse they can to nickel and dime everybody.

I'm pro-NN, but in the long run it's not a cure-all. As long as both the government and the ISPs are in the hands of the bourgeoisie, their only aim is to achieve the highest rate of profit possible. This means they're gonna use whatever trick they can to profit off the working class. Mind you, I'm not saying "consumers" in general, because rich bourgeois consumers will be able to afford their own, separate, exceptional connections that allow everything. It's the working-class consumers that get hurt either way.

This whole conflict is amongst media capitalists, those who want a bigger piece of the pie and those who are well established and feel threatened.

The people who claim more government control is better forget that the government is already biased against poor, working-class consumers. Yes, it's going to regulate net accessibility in a way that maximizes profit for multi-billion companies. It's not going to stop criminal behavior in general, only criminal behavior that's not insanely profitable.

The ideal solution would be for workers of ISP companies to seize control and regulate the net in a way that benefits the majority of users. But until we reach a point like that, net neutrality as-is is better than getting charged extra for browsing youtube.

Not everything has to do with politics or Trump. Some people might just think that NN is unfair because it makes everyone pay the same for internet despite not using it in the same capacity.

In other branches paying more if you use something more is perfectly normal and acceptable. So it's a bit strange that you don't have to pay extra if you want to stream/download 4K content every day compared to the person who only uses the internet to send a few emails.

I'm not American though, so don't care much about your shit either way, but blaming everything on the Trump boogeyman is dumb.

This is a ridiculous libertarian pipe dream that completely ignores all the realities inherent to being an ISP, and all the barriers to entering the market.
Were it completely free to enter the market, you would be right, but it takes a lot of capital, expertise, and legal fights with current monopoly players.
This is why most libertarians have a fundamentally flawed political perspective, because they don't look at reality.

Net Neutrality is the idea that data transmitted through an internet service provider should be treated as a fungible commodity where each bit of data is given equal priority through the purchased service class. Note that this is not saying that all customers have access to equal service speeds and bandwidth. It means ISPs can't discriminate against how you use the data transmission service outlined in the contract.

Essentially Net Neutrality is the principle that the service you buy can be used however you want. ISPs can't throttle connections between specific clients based on their own arbitrary guidelines and are empowered to manage their network capacity and connection priorities only through broad service classes.
>>
>>383773404

Fucking choose one. American ISPs are already genuinely pure cancer. They provide shit service at away higher price compared to the rest of the world. In what world would they not abuse the fuck out of the power to selectively throttle internet access? I honestly don't understand how you could not realize that. Do you not pay internet bills?

No matter how many times you say this, it doesn't get any less incorrect. It doesn't even make sense. You're equating all government regulation, when there is a drastic difference. Nothing in NN rules says "Uncle Sam can tell you stop watching porn or anime whenever he wants." it instead says "Uncle Comcast can't fiddle your private bits or we'll yell at him."

It's pretty much just saying that all internet is equal, no matter how you use you should be able to use it to its fullest for the same price. ISPs can only charge more for stuff like higher speed internet, but they're not allowed to sell just parts of the internet (like only giving you an email service for a lower price, or having you pay more money if you want to use netflix).

It stops ISPs from discriminating traffic regardless of what kind it is.
So the ISP can't favor one email service over another that takes the same kind of bandwidth.

It's ISPs controlling what you can view, rather than the government. The government can already control specific sites that's covered by law (illegal shit, etc)

Of course its a bad thing, in a perfect america there would be a government owned wholesale only fiber network that ISPs could retail on top of, creating competition that ensures the free market decides. If one isps starts rocking the boat, people have the CHOICE to go elsewhere.

It's complete bullshit that some retards are making up. NN is the government stopping ISPs from regulating what you see.
>>
Over 100 people are against Net Neutrality? Don't y'all realize that it's the only thing keeping the internet balanced? If NN goes, then Netflix has to pay money to Comcast in order to stay even with whatever Comcast bullshit that Comcast endorses. If ATnT wants to make a new youtube site, they'll advertise that in search engines and etc over youtube, and they isn't net neutral. That's giving favorable loadtimes and search results to the companys paying the most money instead of what people want to support. How could you be anti-NN when that stance gives permissions to companies to fuck over users with search results/load times?

Corporate companies will fuck you over with every chance they get, without fail. Why support them?

Even with proper competition, NN would not be a negative thing.

That's not what NN is about. If you download more and faster than you definitely need to pay extra regardless of what you download.

NN is there so downloading/streaming 4K content from either Amazon, Netflix, Youtube or whatever cost the same to you.

Without NN, companies like Comcast can charge you extra just because you use Netflix instead of whatever streaming service they have even though it's the same 4K video.

Think about going to the post office and mailing a letter. You can be charged more for special services or speed, sure, but the post office isn't going to charge you more for who you are sending the letter to. A letter to your neighbor is going to be charged the same rate and get the same care as a letter addressed to FedEx. Without Net Neutrality, the letters could be charged more at the post office's discretion.

>>383773849
Well, net neutrality prevents ISPs from treating traffic to different sites differently. So right now, if you have an Internet connection in the U.S., you can access any website. Your ISP is not allowed to selectively throttle or block traffic to different sites.

If net neutrality dies, that protection is no longer in place, so instead you'll have to buy packages to access certain sites unhindered. So, if you wanted to access Facebook and reddit, you'll have to buy the social network package in addition to your current subscription. If you want to watch Netflix and Hulu, you'll have to buy the streaming package. And so on.

A lot of the current proposed legislation text, of which the exact wording will be decided and voted on only after the FCC's proposal is accepted, will also make it illegal for U.S. citizens to connect to proxies, VPNs, tunnelers, or any similar service. So don't think of trying to get around it that way either.

I'm 100% for net neutrality, but part of the problem is that the current net neutrality isn't enough.

Current laws do nothing to prevent "fast lanes," even though that's one of those things people claim will happen if NN goes away. Current laws do nothing to protect consumers, America is way behind the rest of the Western world in that area. Current laws do nothing to protect your privacy, and in some ways actively undermine your ability to protect your own privacy. Current laws do nothing to prevent ISPs from creating local monopolies that give people no freedom of choice and prevent healthy capitalist market forces from doing their thing. And so forth.

Losing net neutrality will be a blow to everyone, but simply holding on to what exists right now isn't enough.

ISPs are still allowed to charge for bandwidth, you complete imbecile.

If you stream movies all day long, you can get a service that has more speed of bigger caps, which you pay more for. If you just browse 4chan once in a while you can get a service that costs less and doesn't need to be fast. This depends on what your ISP offers you, and isn't regulated by net neutrality. If you feel you don't get enough options, that's because your ISP is gauging you.

Net neutrality isn't about discriminating by how much you use, it's about discriminating by WHAT you use. So for example of Comcast wants to fuck with Netflix, they could charge you extra for streaming Netflix at a decent speed while someone who downloads gigs of porn every day pays less because it's not Netflix. It has nothing to do with how much you use.

That's the point, if there was actual free market competition then we wouldn't need regulation because consumers could support the best provider. But unfortunately we have essentially internet fiefdoms set up that are kings of their domain.

That's just pure data caps, not options to how you want to use it because that isn't allowed with NN.
I'd much rather have the option to choose for an internet package that gives me unlimited data without access to shit that I don't use for a lower price, than choosing a package that's just data-caps.

It's actually how the EU does it. Some countries like The Netherlands had 100% NN, but the EU dialed that back for that very reason.

Because lobbyists on behalf of the ISPs have been lobbying for years to high power politicians in Washington that treating data in this way is unethical and anti-business.

This will open up entire new service categories by which ISPs can restrict usage and tack on fees, potentially earning them billions.

It's like 99% of people already hate their service provider, so it's not that people don't want to switch. Once fiber optics companies lay down enough line to compete with them, then those dinosaur monopolies will either conform to change or die off.

no you dumb fuck, but even they have much better internet then you ever will have.

So, let's look at ISPs' options and guess what they'll do.

1. Don't sell packages, keep data caps.
2. Sell packages, remove data caps.
3. Sell packages, keep data caps.

Hmm, I wonder...

>The same typo twice in a single post
Really makes you think.
>>
>>383775135
You're an idiot.

It's not that every little site will have to pay a million dollars, it's that they'll make contracts with a couple of big sites for preferential treatment and everyone else gets screwed. So for example Facebook might make a deal, but "joe's fishing blog" won't even be considered and so will get third-rate access speeds.

But it literally doesn't make any difference to an ISP on a technical level if you download a megabyte of text or a megabyte of video. It's all just data. It doesn't cost them anything more to deliver it to you. It shouldn't make a difference.

Anything over 500W is banned in the UK; anything over 250W needs a special permit. "Public danger"

They would but right now they don't have to do that and like it that way. They also might run up against shit like "comcast search" or whatever and that's not a risk they want to take
>>
>>383775295
Which is why getting rid of NN is beneficial before that happens. Otherwise, anyone that sets up shop will be beholden to the government.
>>
>>383775182
If you think that the ISPs will use that power to HELP us, you're fucking delusional. They already try to jew us out of as much money as they possibly can. Nothing good will come from them getting more power.

>So for example Facebook might make a deal, but "joe's fishing blog" won't even be considered and so will get third-rate access speeds.
False. What will happen is that a majority of sites on the internet will still have the same speed and the sites these companies dont like will make special deals for premium speeds.

But it doesnt matter cause competition will come in anyway and just say "we dont throttle anyone!"
>>
>>383775351
I know, but giving those different options could make them more attractive to consumers. The problem is that there's no competition in the US.
Look at phone companies and you'll see that they've got all kinds of different options and bundles to make them more attractive.

The past has always told me that the market exchange between business and consumer always fixed itself. Always. Even Bell monopoly would have eventually fixed itself had the government not gone in so soon.
>>
>>383775182
More options to make you pay more, sure.

Data caps actually make sense. They suck, but they're not going away. If you get a package that gives you priority access to certain sites, you'll just get that on top of your normal data caps. ISPs aren't suddenly going to give you free reign when they've never done so before, because they have nothing to gain from doing so.

The only chance you have of improving the data cap situation is by encouraging actual competition, so ISPs have a reason to offer better datacaps or even uncapped data: To offer a more competitive package than the ones that don't. But since ISPs are barely actually competing that's not going to happen.

Yep, you can look it up yourself but most people in the US have only 1 option for decent speeds at a remotely affordable price. Everywhere I've lived has been ruled by a single regional ISP that everyone hates but has to use.

no, they're giving you the option what functions you want to use. ISPs could do the same thing. They probably won't though, cause there's no competition in the US.

The problem is that with NN internet is going to get more and more expensive for everyone in time. Seeing as 4K content is on the rise and people use more and more data. And regardless how evil ISPs are, that data does cost money.
>>

Beholden to a basic standard? I don't see how that's an issue. We regulate certain services to fit standards to protect the consumer.

Literally nothing good can come of it in the same way deregulating the meat industry would ruin standards.

>NN internet is going to get more and more expensive for everyone in time.
No, I don't see how it is.
If everyone is using more bandwidth, why shouldn't they pay for it? Why do you want to hide the true cost of their internet usage? This is just going to create a system where if you want 4K content from a certain service provider, it's going to have to be content their parent company has the rights to.
>And regardless how evil ISPs are, that data does cost money.
Bandwidth costs money, data itself does not.

And these fucking ISPs could definitely afford to upgrade their shitty infrastructure instead of being jewish indefinitely.

As a fellow Illinoisfag it's not better in the suburbs. I live right next to one of the big hospitals and the only thing you can get here is AT&T as well. I can't even watch Youtube at 360p on Sundays because of all the people on this shitty service and it constantly drops out on weekends or takes ages to connect.

>>383776058
>If everyone is using more bandwidth, why shouldn't they pay for it?
Not everyone is using more bandwidth. And the alternative is to not put the cost on the consumer, but on the companies that use more bandwidth. Like a Netflix. That's why Netflix is pro-NN, because they're afraid that they have to pay more money instead of putting the cost on every internet user.
