muh net neutrality

you know those 2 aren't related, right?

All I know is that I was told I would be throttled, and all that has happened so far is that my service has gotten 5x better. Perhaps the alt-left got out over their skis again?

If you're going to come back with a smug talking point that you got from john oliver, because you think that makes you tech-savvy, save it, I'm not interested.

Yeah, what would I know. I'm just a registered republican who works in the telecom industry and works very closely with dozens of ISP's. But sure, let's just jump right to talking about the "alt left" and telling people you won't believe what someone says before they even say it.

Government supported and enabled monopolies are the only kind that can exist, other than temporarily.

Unfortunately, any kind of legislation or fcc ruling doesn't do anything to help people have more options for ISPs. That is controlled more at the state and city level
