Just a reminder for those that think NN is a bad thing. Here are lots of real world examples (pre NN) where we were screwed by the carriers. I was impacted by at least two of these. So thats probably why I am so adamant against the repeal even though I despise big gov. Now if you treat these as a utility and force competition, then yes, kill NN. But until I can fire Comcast and call Bright House (or whatever they are called this year) to deliver service on the same wire and we have all carriers competing for my dollars in the same space, we need net neutrality.
I have 3 choices at my home:
Comcast: excellent speed, good reliability.*
ATT Uverse: I can get it or not depending on who you ask, and may not be able to exceed 10mbits on a good day.
4G wireless: reasonable speeds for web/email, but insane data caps that prevent any streaming media of any consequence. Forget Netflix, et al. ESPECIALLY for the other 3 people in my household.
*but if they decide that they dont like Magic Jack, they can cripple it and make me spend 5x/month what I spend now for a home phone from them.
