Bathtubs use up enormous amounts of water! It's only fair your water company starts charging bath tub manufacturers

Bathtubs use up enormous amounts of water! It's only fair your water company starts charging bath tub manufacturers.

i agree.
electric companies should start charging HVAC manufacturers for using up all the eletricity too.

Water pipe manufacturers should be able to offer premium water throughput options to high intensity water suppliers.

Basic package - bathroom and kitchen: Wash your hands after using your bathroom. Wash your dishes after eating.
Hygiene package - shower: Use your shower after a long day of work.
PREMIUM hygiene package - bathtub: Treat yourself to a relaxing bath!

Are you retarded? They're not charging the end user for where the data ends up. They don't care if it's saved or cached for streaming.

A proper analogy would be charging a water supply company based out of NY more than a water company based in CA more to supply water to Nevada

>water gets charged on a rate per unit like most other utilities
>data should be unlimited!

What did he mean by this

Data does in fact not have to unlimited under net neutrality. However, 1 GB of Netflix MUST cost the same as 1 GB of Sup Forums.

Comcast wants Netflix to pay them because a lot of Comcast's customers use Netflix.

>water company based in CA giving water to Nevada
???
Other way around

>>water gets charged on a rate per unit
What kind of third world shithole do you live in?

Why would you pay a flat rate for a variable amount?

What we need is canal neutrality.
If city folk are entitled to unlimited water usage,
Farmers upstream should get the same deal.
I don't want to hear any bullshit about farmers using up all the water either.
It's their goddamn right to that water.
How else can they ship all those watermelons out of state while the city folk scrounge for grey water?

except you get charged if you don't push a minimum amount of water back to the system

Farmers may negotiate a better deal on their water, just like Netflix does on their upstream. Are you suggesting Netflix pays Comcast $69.99/mo for all of their upstream?

Then the cost of tubs goes up.
> all piled on the user anyway

...

God damn people, live in less densely populated areas where the water you use goes back into the system as fast as you use it. Or don't send the shit in the ocean. It's a closed system. Water just doesn't dissappear. Or pay a little more to have better purification centers.

Most people are more worried about the short and instant gratification of spending money on items that need constantly replaced like subscriptions ,(phones electronics, cars, especially the yearly iPhone subscription), instead of lasting things like land and infrastructure. Resulting in constant complaining how the government fucks people over and things fall apart when it's EVERYONE being short sited fucking over themselves. Humans will go extinct cause we are like blue crabs in a bowl over our life times.

Failure of analogy 1: Water companies do not provide transit, they sell water. If you want to start your own water company, you have to build your own pipes. You don't get to force the existing company to let you use theirs.

Failure of analogy 2: Packets are not water. There is no need to route a particular water molecule to a particular house. The infrastructure required to reliably route packets while maintaining adequate quality of service for everyone is vastly more complex than that required to transport water.

Failure of analogy 3: Water companies do in fact charge different users differently. A factory that uses a million gallons a day does not pay the same per-gallon rate that a household does.

Failure of analogy 4: There is no such thing as an unlimited water plan. Not only do you pay more the more you use, in most places the rates rise exponentially with usage. But somehow when it comes to internet access, every one expects to be able to pay a flat rate for unlimited usage.

That is not the point. Farms often have limit on how much water they can use.

Water is scarce compared to data
You seem like the kind of person that feels like he's cheating his government by not paying for breathing air

holy shit are you this blind or just mentally retarded ?

point 3 has 0 value. internet companies alsp charge differently based upon usage.

point 4 is also moot because there is no sich thing as an unlimited data plan.

point 2 is dismissable because this is an ANALOGY not an equivalency. the logic is pretty well understood.

point 1 is the ONLY valid point and that too to a small degree.

btfo shill and leave my board.

Why don't Netflix, Google, and all the other streaming services band together to make their own ISP? Internet in the USA is a joke unless you live in a major city. Why do you think Google gave up? They have approached the small company I work for, that does wireless internet. They wont buy us out and they wont invest any money into us. If a company like Google doesn't see a point in laying fiber in the USA, then nobody else will. Hopefully with 5g coming within the year, 100mb connection will become increasing more popular.

>Hopefully with 5g coming within the year, 100mb connection will become increasing more popular.
Right, because mobile ISPs aren't ISPs.

Data DOES need to be limited. That's the problem. Data is never going to be unlimited, but the average fucktard doesn't understand that, and will only buy internet if it's advertised as "unlimited" rather than some crazy limit no sane person would ever surpass, like 10 terabytes a month. These people would never use the amount of data needed that would cause an ISP to start throttling them, yet they insist on having unlimited shit. Because of this, now the ISPs are getting around this marketing problem by doing what OP describes.

>anti NN is this braindead and can't understand the point in the OP
not surprised, desu
