As for my bundled package, people do have a choice what speed they want and how much data usage for Gigabytes online per month. What this jerk under Trump is saying is that the Net Neutrality is hurting these companies. Excuse me, when they have speed plans in place for them to make money? They do not need to slow down the internet to sites. Since Comcast owns NBC? The Net Neutrality law was to block companies like ComCast to slow or block their costumers from going onto ESPN sites to watch games, mainly college football. It is the same for them trying to block their costumers from accessing Youtube, HULU, Netflix and other sites that interferes with their streaming online shows.
When Viacom and Suddenlink had the rift where we lost Spike, Comedy, MTV, Nick and so forth, we were blocked from viewing any videos on those sites.

That is bullchit. It was standard negotiations over the cost to carry viacom channels.
When they reached an agreement those channels were included.
