Is that what you had in 2015? Frankly, if my provider slows down my service and raises prices, I will get a different provider! Free-market principles...
40% Of the nation has only one provider.. That, includes me.
But we have a new method just across the lake.. I am going to give them a try after the holidays..
Radio transmission and requires an investment in hardware installation plus a lease for the equipment..
In theory you are right about competition and free markets..
But in this case, the business already in place will be able to stop the progress of any potential competition..

You are correct, Permafrost. The 3-2 FCC action this week represented a sell out by the majority Republicans to the massive corporate interests of the big telecommunication and other internet service providers. I am conservative on most matters, but reasonable regulation of monopolistic corporate and big business interests is in the PUBLIC interest. The big boys will exercise their newly-minted economic power slowly, insidiously, and, principally - effectively.
I practiced regulatory law for many, many years, and can smell a monopoly/quasi-monopoly skunk from a long way off. Analogy can be drawn to the repeal of the essential Glass-Steagall legislation, which led DIRECTLY to the financial crisis and mortgage implosion of 2007-08. The downside of the net neutrality repeal should be considerably less dangerous to the overall economy, but of the same pattern.

Sorry to tell you this but you got it backwards Obama was for free internet we now have government control
Obama was anything but a 'free-choice' kind of guy. Command-and-control was the hallmark of all his presidential actions, ObamaCare being Exhibit "A". Remember his support for reinstating the "Fairness Doctrine," aka "Flush Rush"?
So, given an incomplete understanding, if one is highly suspicious of Leftist-inspired gov't bureaucracies, Net Neutrality as part of HIS agenda and hoped-for legacy should be stopped.

What is the difference between now and 3 years ago ? Nothing. It was another Obama attempt to take over something. Just like his attempt to take over the college loans and healthcare. The underfed jackass could not keep his skinny fingers off of anything. If only Michelle had not had him on her school children starvation diet, I bet he would have been a nice guy. I bet pretty nasty when you don't feed me.

There cure was worse than the cause. No way do I believe the government is neutral. Obama used the IRS, the FBI, and the CIA against his political enemies. I do not want Obama or anyone in the Federal Government having anything to say about the internet.
