Net Neutrality might end.

[walrus]

Google, Apple and other 100 billion dollar behemoths are arguing to keep net neutrality, that makes me wonder it may be good to get rid of it. One thing though, if it gives Comcast too much power I wouldn't like that, I pay a Comcast bill every month and they always find some way to add charges

you dumb

[Gandalf]

You tell 'em Rocco.

[walrus]

you dumb

Rocco net neutrality, if disposed of, would give Comcast and similar companies more power to charge companies using their service. I could teach you about it but I'm not good with special ed kids

They've now found a way to add more:


We wrote earlier this week about how Comcast has changed its promises to uphold net neutrality by pulling back from previous statements that it won't charge websites or other online applications for fast lanes.
Comcast spokesperson Sena Fitzmaurice has been claiming that we got the story wrong. But a further examination of how Comcast's net neutrality promises have changed over time reveals another interesting tidbit—Comcast deleted a "no paid prioritization" pledge from its net neutrality webpage on the very same day that the Federal Communications Commission announced its initial plan to repeal net neutrality rules.

[...]


That statement remained on the page until April 26 of this year, according to page captures from the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine.
But on April 27, the paid prioritization pledge was nowhere to be found on that page and remains absent now.
What changed? It was on April 26 that FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced the first version of his plan to eliminate net neutrality rules. Since then, Pai has finalized his repeal plan, and the FCC will vote to drop the rules on December 14.

And that guy Pai, guess what he did for a living before Trump appointed him to run the FCC? He was a corporate lawyer for Verizon and Comcast. And guess where he's going to work when he leaves the FCC at a much higher salary than he was on before plus a directorship? Yeah.

Out of interest, how much do you pay for your phone and internet service?

I'll need to get back to u Kirk, right now I have a good deal cause I called telling them to cancel and they dropped my bill substantially and gave me a bunch of free stuff. I have to say they did add YouTube tv and several other new things without upping the bill. This net neutrality is like everything else, it has its good, it's bad and of course people making money. I know they have packages up to around 400 and over a month. I think I'm around 130 which is wifi, tv and phone but that one will end in a few months. I did add Netflix recently so it's up more but damn Netflix plays so many B movies I don't know how long I'll keep it.

Comcast is a beast of a company, a lot of what they broadcast over is public utilities, not all of course. They do make me nervous I have no other choice than to go satellite, no cable companies can compete with Comcast.

In every other major country apart from America they have something called local loop unbundling. The owners of the line into your house have to sell access to it wholesale to other internet providers. You can look it up if you want the details. Bottom line is you'd get unlimited internet (firms over here send you a router that plugs into your line and it gives you half a dozen ethernet connections and wifi in your house), a phone line and free calls for twenty five to thirty dollars a month. Because you live in America and the telecoms companies own government telecoms policy/legislation you get fucked at the drive in and now they've overturned net neutrality you're going to get fucked even harder.

This is a net neutrality thread, not a cable TV thread.

According to the Comcast website phone and internet is forty five dollars a month. Calls extra. International calls is a feature you have to pay extra for, then you pay for the calls. Lots of extra features on their tariff.

When I moved to New York the bank I was working for sorted my flat out. It was ten minutes walk from Broad Street where I was working. They took care of all the bills and paid the housekeeper. I bought a new mattress, bedding and new towels and that's the sum total of my personal household expenditures when I was in that flat and I billed the bank. And a new sofa and chairs. I think that's it. The previous occupants appeared to have been Elton John and Saddam Hussein who'd been using it for a lovenest. Everything was white or gold. My parents came over for a visit, walked through the door and my Dad said fuck me, it's a poofter's palace.

Not only that but because we live in America we're forced to drink fluoride in the water.

Not only that but because we live in America we don't have free healthcare.

Not only that but because we live in America companies do not have to list the ingredients on what they put in their products.

Not only that but because we live in America GMOs are rampant and so is Roundup the chemical that is being found in greater and greater amounts in people's bodies.

Not only that but because we live in America there is a 16,000 percent higher violent crime rate then in other so-called First World countries.

Not only that but because we live in America 50% of every single man woman and child is on some kind of psychoactive medication.


Not only that but because we live in America the food has no flavor the food has no taste compared to the food in Turkey or the food in India or the food in Italy or the food in Mexico for example.

Not only that but because we live in America we have black lives matter and the KKK in lgbtq rainbow and all this other crap
