You remember that time that telecoms like comcast and verizon throttled netflix before we got net neutrality? I remember the buffer times. Too recent for you? How about in 2005 when a north carolina telecom named Madison River was blocking vonage to force it's customers to buy their phone service instead of just internet? The FCC made them cease that activity and pay heavy fines in 2005 under Michael Powell! How quickly we take things for granted now.
They just throttled it just of the blue? There was a probably a high demand for that content, just like if there are too many vehicles on the road you are gonna get traffic stops. What NN is just gonna do is stop telecoms from enabling you to buy a "lane" for that content so you can enjoy it without throttling, they are mostly not interested in stopping you from consuming any content and having free speech on the Internet, while goverment certanly is.
Is it really protecting free speech if my home server website get's throttled to 1x cellphone data speed?
What about Blocking vonage in 2005? They certainly were found to be doing that if the FCC fined them for the behavior. You don't get fined for an accusation.
Agree. Problem, reaction, solution. Net Neutrality as it is now written is another Obama era scam. Net neutrality in some form is good. Not the current form.
What specifically in Obama's net neutrality regulation is a scam? I am open to understanding more on the topic. I recently asked a friend what was wrong with the internet before Obama's regulation? They replied and told me that the internet had not been around long enough to implement these type of rules/regulation. I am generally against regulation so this entire issue confuses me a little bit. Were the cable companies (pre-Obama regulation) manipulating the internet speeds? Thanks!

What specifically is wrong with the net neutrality drafted under George W. Bush and ratified under Obama?
