You have your points reversed... The government payed for the infrastructure and the ISP holds a stranglehold over it to keep competition out (Lobbying plays a part). I'll grant you the government is complicit, but it is the ISP's that are creating the mess.

Giving them oversight over the content you can consume isn't smart.

Sorry can't help you.


The intense amount of brainwashing they have over you can't be easily broken.


You are so convinced that evil corporation are out to get you, despite they never have done anything wrong to you, but you feel the government is your savior.


I can't help you break that programming, that's something you will have to figure out yourself.

Likewise I am sorry for you, that think the government is set out to harm you in every way and that regulations that limit the free market are bad.

In theory I agree that limiting a free market is bad, but when it comes to infrastructure like the internet there is no free market and monopolies quickly form because initial cost of deployment is too high. ISP's don't give a shit about you, they know you need them, they will f' you whenever possible. And your bending over and begging as the government is trying to tell them not to.

Show your proof where corporations were raising internet rates unexplainably, and net neutrality helped to lower those rates.


Go on I'll be waiting here.

"A widely cited example of a violation of net neutrality principles was the Internet service provider Comcast's secret slowing ("throttling") of uploads from peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) applications by using forged packets.[9] Comcast did not stop blocking these protocols, like BitTorrent, until the Federal Communications Commission ordered them to stop.[10] In another minor example, The Madison River Communications company was fined US$15,000 by the FCC, in 2004, for restricting their customers' access to Vonage, which was rivaling their own services.[11] AT&T was also caught limiting access to FaceTime, so only those users who paid for AT&T's new shared data plans could access the application.[12] In July 2017, Verizon Wireless was accused of throttling after users noticed that videos played on Netflix and YouTube were slower than usual, though Verizon commented that it was conducting "network testing" and that net neutrality rules permit "reasonable network management practices".[13]" ( [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]
