Aren't we there already? You pay your ISP for the access to the service, with their ability to set data caps and speed limits, and you pay the content provider for their content? Why would anyone need to pay more? If your data plan runs out, you can't consume.... why should the content provider have to pay to get their data to you? Isn't free market you working that out with your ISP?

Exactly if we are already there why do we need further laws and rules and government control applied?



Don't you see the problem with net neutrality logic yet??
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42079668


Don't you see the fault in your logic? Your ISP wants more profit... We have had to codify the basic premise of paying for access into law because they wanted to double dip and charge the content providers. Bandwidth costs them nothing. But they want to squeeze out every single cent of shareholder value.

Why have costs risen since net neutrality came about then?

I have never had a problem with the internet or any provider and it's always been reasonably priced.



The things the government wants you to fear were never happening from the ISPs.


Boogey men.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42079668


Who sets the prices? The ISP's... How many do you have to choose from? Have they all increased in prices?

Net Neutrality stopped a growing trend of ISP's charging both ends of the connection. The government did nothing more then tell them they could not do that. If prices increased, it most likely means your ISP wants more money.... Has you internet speed increased? Have they become more reliable? If they became more expensive why not move to a new provider that offers what you want? Isn't that what a free market is about... Getting what you want at the lowest price you are willing to pay?
