Remember this year's woman's marches? How did those get organized again?
Remember how poorer American people started to eat healthier on average thanks to info they got exposing the truth on fast food and other junk food? How did they receive that information again? -

The FCC can stop bandwidth or bottleneck. That means if they choose to, they can even block certain youtube videos. So Professor Black Truth, The Black Authority, and Tariq Nasheed can be censored. -
So basically with this repeal internet providers will now be allowed to BLOCK or SLOW DOWN service for specific apps or websites, and CHARGE users MORE MONEY for using streaming services like Netflix,Youtube,HULU etc
The people who will be hit hardest by this,of course are poor and low income communities( i.g. black communities)
Which is why President Obama, "" who never did ANYTHING for black people!"" was against repealing NN and fought to keep the internet as is..where regardless of your financial status you still have the same web speed and web browsing service as everyone else
Remind me again who put him there in the first place. -

Comcast had a deal with Xbox so yeah they could slow down the online gaming for PS4 servers if they wanted to
That would be counter productive. Microsoft cant pay them enough to cover the cost of people leaving Comcast because they refuse to get Xbox’s due to Comcast throttling speeds for PS.
They would have to pay Comcast enough to cover the cost of doing so. And enough to cover the cost of value lost due to a weaker standing in the stock market due to people leaving, and threatening to leave Comcast. That’s way to much of an investment than they would be willing to make.
In addition to that it would be a PR ? storm. -
Look people, cable companies do not have to capcity to provide the bandwidth for which it sells. It is very very expensive to have everyone allocated speeds up to and above 500mbps. It’s very very costly
But they aren’t going to tell u that because what u say u can’t do. It won’t stop the next company from lying to u and saying they can.
So these companies seem to be in truce mode. Because the only way they can cost effectively provide everyone with the bandwidth they need to provide reasonable ping time is to have control in directing traffic.
They can’t just give u have a gig step back and say have at it. Even tho it’s what they sell you. They can’t...you been lied to and before it all implodes. ? like this happens. It’s not as much as an attack on consumer as it is an admission of guilt in lying to consumers.
That attack already came, people were just made to believe the attack was a benefit. When the benefit didn’t truly exist -
They claim they're doing this to increase competitiveness but I've literally watch AT&T and Comcast swallow up nearly all the smaller isp's in my area..
I hope this comes back to bite them in the ass.. -
That ? is artificial growth, it’s called edge out. It’s meant to trick Wall Street to believe inflated numbers about subs to convince them the company is growing. Thus keeping their price high and allowing them to gain money to pay off debts and repeat the same process.
-
For some reason ever since block buster, there’s a stronger belief in business that if u aren’t growing ur dying. It’s stupid and totally not the reason they and all these other companies went under.
They went under because they believed their own hype and not in innovation. Basically, so many of these companies are ran by idiots surrounded by yes men. -

I don't have a problem with them throttling speeds to 10-20 Mbps when anything faster is unnecessary, ? you only need around 2-3 Mbps for online gaming.(is that gonna stop them pushing 100+ Mbps plans on people?), it's having the ability to block or slow to a snails pace any traffic they dislike that I have issue with. -

They would have no need to, say Netflix. Netflix has a lot of traffic. It causes congestion, u get a Netflix server and all traffic is directed through that pipe line to lesson the load on overall traffic.
And that’s in peak times, then the burden isn’t on the company. The burden is on Netflix is either update their equipment to handle the more thorough and efficient load. Or they themselves throttle speeds or block ips that originate from that domain.
And that’s worse case scenario with a company that a lot of people use that service. -
The object of the game is subs..if u have the ability to give all subs efficient ping times by controlling traffic effiently. Why ruin that by u urself hindering those subs when u don’t need to?
