before net neutrality i could get something like 30-40 different isp's to service my address. now i only have one choice. thx obama good job.
oh and the tiered internet plans people are screeching about? you're already subsidizing that anyways. that's why your cable bill's $70 now and it was $30 three years ago. those tiered internet plans, if they are to exist, wouldn't start at the current price you're paying. think of it this way: you're already paying for the most expensive package, and if ISP's end up doing that shit (they won't; they didn't for two decades and can barely do so with tv even but i'll entertain the notion) it means you'll be able to opt-out of paying for your neighbor's netflix traffic.
so basically, free market handles that censorship problem you're kvetching about. if an ISP wants to censor internet access, the consumer will have other choices in providers, and the market will dictate how much censorship it wants (i don't mind child porn and malicious sites getting filtered out for example)
reddit tier people: omg the sky is falling because the internets going back to how it always was except for a 2 year period where our country's internet plans universally got worse but also more expensive TOTAL COINCIDENCE!!11 the internet needs to be more like public radio!!1
