Net Neutrality... No, really it will be faster and cheaper... Says the government.

[UncleBuck]

the decreased buying power of the dollar.

do you ever get even a single fact right?

 

[AlecTheGardener]

ISP's compete with one another. If one raises it's rates then you can go to another one. The competition is what keeps costs down despite inflation and the decreased buying power of the dollar.

You dont see how it will slow things down because of monitoring software?

You dont see how it will be more expensive with the extra reporting requirements?

You dont understand that taxpayers will have to fund a new bureacracy entitled to decide who is being treated fairly/unfairly regarding the internet? Someone probably the age of your grandpa and more worried about votes than bytes right?

You dont see how it will be more expensive and slower for everyone in the name of fairness??

Monitoring software? Explain please.

Personally if I was the NSA I would use a mirror to collect the data it is easier and much more simple. You use a mirror box to duplicate the fiber optic signal, no loss of quality.

How would the ISP prove that it was being *neutral* ?

 

[abandonconflict]

Then Netflix has a right to switch ISP's or become an ISP itself...

So Netflix should just ignore comcast customers and only be available to AT&T uverse and time warner huh?

Just switch ISPs...

So dumb.

You are the product. You are not the consumer. Only net neutrality solves this problem.

why have these idiots chosen our forum to sully?

there are so many other forums where their nonsense would be welcomed.

 

[AlecTheGardener]

It would simply leave its infrastructure that way it currently is.

To make the Internet 'not neutral' would actually take a little bit of work from the ISPSs, they will need to do a fuckload of coding and lease a shitload more servers.

No need to employ hundreds, just have someone from the FCC respond to complaints when companies come in and tell them that they are being extorted by an ISP and are breaking regulations. Easy.

So you want a government body to tell yet another industry what they can and cannot do with their own private products and services?

You guys never end... But hey, it is bad to make weed illegal... Yeah right... People are delusional.

Nice straw man.

Comcast doesn't own the internet.

 

[NLXSK1]

Comcast doesn't own the internet.

Comcast doesnt spend money on infrastructure? Is that suddenly public property when it touches the internet?

 

[OddBall1st]

Comcast doesn't own the internet.

Forgive me, I has the Dumb (great catch phrase), If Comcast put the cables on the pole, wouldn`t they own it ? and...Why do people care how fast the internet is ? I know I don`t.

They are introducing gigabit internet.

This issue is a strawman created by people who's interest it is in to shut down the little guy and these people who are arguing for it are too stupid to see that.

In addition, it appears that many of the people arguing simply do not understand the structure of the internet.

 

[NLXSK1]

Do you live in an underground bunker somewhere and comcast is the only provider?

 

[abandonconflict]

A few cables and poles in a few towns is not the internet. However, yes, that infrastructure should be public like roads and parks.

 

[abandonconflict]

You're the one advocating for comcast to own the infrastructure.

 

[NLXSK1]

The power lines are not public. The water lines are not public. The cable television signal be it ground or by air is scrambled and not public.

But somehow... the internet infrastructure. Which is essentially the phone lines and data lines that private companies put in the ground and the satellites they launch. Somehow those should be public property? Welkom to Amerika. Probably should be free to Vet's too right? So you can bitch about your benefits....

Please explain to me how an OC3 backbone works bro. I was sixteen when I got my first A+ certification, 18 when I landed my first Cisco CCNA. Want to discuss the finer details of networking security in work forces larger then one thousand workstations?

 

[NLXSK1]

I sit here at my computer thinking of the ways I can connect to the internet.

I am connected by landline to mediacom. However, I could get my signal beamed in through my direct TV or sign up for satellite computer service through a number of providers. In addition to my hot spot provided by verizon which I could actually convert my phone over to.

I probably have over 20 choices of how to connect to the internet right now and they all have to compete for my dollars.

But somehow, it could suddenly become unfair in the future and supar expensive so we have to make it more expensive and slower now to prevent that hypothetical thing from happening. Does this sound like the Global Warming hype all over again to someone else??

Ask yourself... Do you have a problem with internet load speeds now? Is this just a bullshit boogyman like climatedisastergateamageddon? Is there really a problem?

Why on earth were you not recruited to the dark side of IT after MU? You fit the profile much better than I did and they doubled my pay. I hated it though, so if you turned it down, good choice. There is so much idiocy advocated by MU that it hurts every time I have to tell a doctor they lost money because his front office didn't check the hispanic/non-hispanic box.

They were literally begging nurses to join us to work in data analyzing. They preferred you nurses over us rehab people because of your drug and coding knowledge.
