net neutrality is pretty stuffty
(1/5) > >>
PhantOS:
All the images of various packages for Internet show that if net neutrality is removed we'll have to pay for individual packages. I only use like Google and Mail applications so already I'd be paying like 30$ less a month for the various services I no longer pay to use. That seems like a win for me

I don't use music and video so I wouldn't need that package at all... Looks like net neutrality was robbing me blind... Now I will pay only for what I need to use
Red Spy:
only have to pay for google and researchhub B)
TristanLuigi:
i dunno if you're being sarcastic here, but you're assuming that the base package will be significantly cheaper than it is currently
besides that, there are far more egregious effects than just "internet is more expensive," as ISPs will be able to favor certain services or information sources over others

also, this isn't how the loving internet works
you aren't buying music/video/search from your ISP, you're buying access to the internet
distinguishing between categories doesn't make ANY sense

by pretending that it's any different, you're giving ISPs more leverage

yes it is? you realize the whole anti-net neutrality argument is based around the fact that you pay for categories of internet usage, right? There's no google vs yahoo throttling, it's Google vs Netflix because one is part of a browser package and the other is part of the video package
