>Stop the Cap, a website dedicated to holding broadband companies accountable, reports that the price of Comcast’s standalone 25Mbps internet package — the minimum internet speed needed to meet the FCC’s definition of broadband — is increasing to $75 a month in some markets.
Missing net neutrality yet?
$75 a month for 25mbps hahahahaha

That has nothing to do with net neutrality though
It's not gone yet, and this could have happened at literally any other time.
>Stop the cap.
Daily reminder that Mediaje...(MEDIACOM) charges up to $128,000 in (((overages))) PER MONTH in markets with 1000/25Mbps "service"
Fucking KILL THE CAP
The only reason this is happening is:
1. Lack of competition due to capture of government
2. Being mad over lost tv profits
They promised not to increase prices after the repeal.
They went back on their word.
Fuck off back to Sup Forums AjitApologists
Mine doubled about a week ago. For the same price.
>competition
You're right, can't wait for AT&T's offer of 25mbps for $74.99
>AjitApologists
More like PajitApoologists
Also, fuck Sup Forums
I can't wait until they start with the tiered-access bullshit which is why they were so keen to repeal NN. It won't be straight away, because the company will wait a while until the NN controversy isn't so fresh in people's minds before doing this.
They didn't have to keep the promise in any scenario. Caps on consumer plans and price increases literally has nothing to do with net neutrality
>They promised not to increase prices after the repeal.
They promised not to introduce fast lanes. They never said anything about prices.
Not defending the abolishment of net neutrality though, and I do think Comcast are literal jews. I pay ~625 NOK (around $75) per month for 150/25 Mbps.
It still had nothing to do with Title II regulations. Neither do caps. Comcast can set their prices to literally anything they fucking want.
You’re getting jewed friend.
This is £34 ($45) with TV and Phone
I'm just happy to get 10/2 uncapped for a benjamin. Alaska internet sucks nuts for speed, but at least the local ISPs don't give a fuck what you do with it.
Of course they will start fucking with traffic, they'll just try to do it in a subtle way hoping that noone notices and will have a prepared response if anyone does call them out on it. Pretty much the same mindset as apple with the slowdown fiasco.
>up to $128,000 in (((overages))) PER MONTH
This
Or you pay 200 fucking bucks a month.
WHERE IS OUR 400 BILLION USD TAXPAYER INVESTMENT, COMCAST?
>You’re getting jewed friend.
They're extending the fibre grid to where I live sometime next year, but until then I'm stuck with that shitty deal.
Any way, my employer covers up to 500 NOK per month, so I only pay 125 NOK / month myself, which is pretty nice.
>with TV and phone
I don't want that, I don't own a TV and my phone is also paid for by my employer.
THey always roll it out slowly.
Same thing happened with the caps.
Bit by bit until the whole country is plastered with them and you have nowhere to go but them.
My point was that increasing prices for packages is not the same as fucking with traffic. People, especially those that lurk Sup Forums, should really learn how to differentiate NN issues from just general jewry.
thinking of moving to Alaska. Where are you? We're thinking of heading out to Juno.
>400bn taxpayer investment
I keep seeing this posted everywhere but the only tax-funded investment to an ISP I know about is when Verizon cucked NY state out of some money.
Valley area. Southeast seems alright if you can cope with the reduced mobility and even more expensive stuff.
Literally never going to happen you 12 year old. People have been using that paid-package bullshit since 2001, and for the entire time ISPs had all the power in the world to do it without all the modern headaches it would bring, they never did.
Because its not a cost plus action.
Learn basic macroeconomics and business practice before you worry about dumb shit like that.
I currently pay $65 a month for 20mbps down and 2mbps up. I have been paying for this same plan for 4 years. I live in a blue state that voted for Clinton and just elected another blue governor. Where was my net neutrality?
BTW new ISP announce in my area is being made, will cut my bill in half. So no net neutrality actually benefitted me.
Package prices != net neutrality issue
God, you people are dumb as fuck.
By phone I mean landline.
It was £1 more to get the 12 month contract with TV than without. £7.99 setup cost. Gets used for TiVo.
It's all the same. You have a bunch of managers getting together and discussing the various ways to increase revenue and justify their salaries. Either they increase the price of the product, cut costs or look for additional sources of revenue. In this case treating netflix and other web companies traffic as potential revenue sources will prove to be too tempting eventually, especially when it is direct competition against the ISP company's own media broadcast assets such as Comcast.
You and Reddit literally talk about how ISPs will be able to sell websites as packages. OP is pro nn and is talking about packages.
No shit nn isn't about packages, but the pro nn people are so fucking annoying I need to shill anti nn just because of my hatred for them.
>By phone I mean landline.
Nobody has landlines in Norway anymore. Only a handful businesses and old people.
>you and reddit
I don't care what reddit says, and I actually don't think website packages are ever going to be implemented either as that is a hornet's nest with regards to freedom of speech issues.
But so-called fast lanes and discrimination of traffic for certain services, such as P2P traffic or VoIP or video streaming are for sure going to happen.
It's not at all the same and you are doing everyone a great disfavour by conflating NN issues with ISP packages.
So you'll work against your own best interests just to be contrarian? Do you suffer from mental illness?
>engaging in identity politics for the sake of being contrarian
What kind of self-loathing retard would do such a thing?
This, it's jewery but this is not yet an example of the kind of jewery that repealing net-neutrality has opened the door to.
I do find it funny that the isps so desperately needed net neutrality repealed to avoid congestion and they chose now after it has just been canned to do something like this when they could have been doing it all along.
Some good use for the recent tax cuts. Enjoy your inflation USA.
They didn't promise shit. Some tweet on social media doesn't mean fuck all
It does. NN opponents claimed that without NN ISPs would give more bandwidth for less.
That is not happening.
No one claimed this, no where did nn ever talk about that
Only retarded shills on Sup Forums said that, but no one worth listening to promised that at all.
Actually while technically true, Net Neutrality was put into place by using Title II regulations, meaning ISPs were treated as utilities. While the FCC chose not to use price control measures, customers could still complain to the FCC if they felt the pricing was outrageous and the FCC could do something about it.
That faggot ajit didn't just repeal the NN regulations, he stepped back the entire Title II regs. What we're seeing is a direct result of this.
Net neutrality hasn't even been repealed yet. Once it is, this situation is going to become 10 times worse and verizon and comcast are going to rape you clean.
Thank u, daddy! I luv gargling on ur hot sticky magas ur shootin down my throat
>Title II regulations, meaning ISPs were treated as utilities
That's actually incorrect. Title II made ISPs common carriers, not utilities.
Latest bill from FPB. If your from Frankfort KY then you know what the FPB is.
It's never going to happen and people like OP are proving it by grasping at straws any which way they can. If I had an actual say in the matter I would have been against appealing it, but nothing I can do, and sperging out like an autistic retard on Sup Forums sure as hell isn't helping. So yeah, on a Cambodian basket weaving forum I like to have fun and shill against NN so retards like OP get even more pissed off thinking it's Ajit pais poo in loo friends getting paid to shill here when it's really a bunch of bored people like myself who don't wanna see this shit anymore.
>t's never going to happen
What is never going to happen, you deliberately vague fucktard?
Friendly reminder that Comcast has blocked P2P traffic and throttled video streaming in the past, and that Verizon has blocked VoIP in the past.
>School Tax
>Excise Tax
>School Tax
I'm mad
>inb4 it was 74 bucks before
that's pretty crazy to have all those services mixed up into a single company
your water is REALLY cheap. even if I don't use a drop, I pay $35/month, and every 6 months $90 for "plant service", but I'm in a stupid MUD
also, why are you pre-paying for your internet? that's just weird
>Writes a response claiming something will happen
>I respond directly to those allegiations saying they won't happen.
>You ask "what is never going to happen"
Here's what I responded to, which is in the quoted response.
”But so-called fast lanes and discrimination of traffic for certain services, such as P2P traffic or VoIP or video streaming are for sure going to happen."
You pro nn people are the dumbest people while larping as smart people. You are the reason why everyone here hates Reddit, because you are Reddit incarnate. You talk out your ass, have no clue what you are talking about. Make false claims, then get angry and insult people the dumbest way. All you bring here is idiocy, anger, and Reddit.
Friendly reminder I have data caps (250gb) and my current ip throttles me at "peak hours" or if usage in my area is high. Mon-Thur 5-9pm my internet gets throttled to about 10mbps down from 20mbps. Friday it's from 5-11pm, Saturday its 4-midnight, and Sunday it's 2pm-9pm. Blue mayor in blue state.
3. They know the government is now on their side and not the people's, and aren't afraid to do whatever the fuck they want
Did you even try to censor the identifying information, Mr. Levi Banter? I can clearly read most of that shit.
>has literally already happened before NN in the past
>"that's never going to happen"
Are you dense?
I have Spectrum Internet. Is Spectrum the same as Comcast?
I'm only bothered that ISPs eliminated their lower tiers. Spectrum (Charter) raised the price from $15/mo to $20/mo for no reason when they merged with Time Warner. Luckily I'm grandfathered in with my 3/1Mbps for $20 flat per month but it's still BS for us frugalfags
>renting a modem
>paying for wifi instead of buying your own router
The rest isn't bad except for your insane electricity use. Legit 4 times what my household uses.
ISPs throttling you during peak hours = not a NN issue
ISPs throttling downstream traffic from specific websites = an actual NN issue.
You're a dumb fuck. Also, "muh blue mayor in blue state" means absolutely nothing as Title II was a federal regulation.
>"that's never going to happen"
>has already happened
What did he mean with this, Sup Forums ?
Changing goal posts and more insults, all without proof once again. Go tell Reddit you successfully btfo and anti net neutrality shill using nothing but your Intellect™. When nothing changes in a year I'll expect a new argument for you guys to come up with. Bye, going to go out and get some drinks with a double date, girlsfriends friends, then come home and have sloppy drunk sex. Have fun arguing and pretending to be smart! :^) Oh I heard Reddit here hates the "smiley with carat nose" so I'll use it from now on.
I'm in Frankfort KY as well. They (FPB) have good and bad points. Good, 90 % of all house utility is on single bill, exception is garbage and natural gas. Bad; since they are only game in town for services the cost of cable is nuts. The max internet rate is 100 meg down but you pay about $100 for it plus they don't got the bandwidth to supply it full time. So you waste your money. 10 meg is ok, that is supplied constantly
>the minimum internet speed needed to meet the FCC’s definition of broadband — is increasing to $75 a month
This shit increases all the time. All the telecomms are jews. My fucking bill went up a before this shit got repealed and will go up again after. This has nothing to do with NN at all. It's really telling how NN fags have to fear monger constantly. Most of you don't even know what the fuck you're talking about except parroting
>muh fast lanes
and don't even care to know about the actual issue and what the difference between the tech companies and ISPs/Transit Providers think NN means for them, and what you think NN is. Seriously, just kill yourselves with your moral crusading. You've ruined what is a legitimate topic.
pls, what movie is that?
>Changing goal posts and more insults, all without proof once again
I didn't change the goalpost, it has literally happened.
Comcast has tried to block P2P traffic several times, in 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009. They've been sued for it and guess what was used as argument in the fucking lawsuit... That's right, net neutrality: pcmag.com
Comcast throttled Netflix in 2014. This issue was resolved by Netflix agreeing to pay for a fast lane: consumerist.com
Verizon has throttled Netflix and Youtube as late as 2017: 9to5mac.com
arstechnica.com
They've also blocked VoIP in the past, using deep packet inspection to target SIP in particular: onsip.com
The rest of your post is just angry ranting, and irrelevant to any point.
I think he might have one of those combo cable modem/router/Wi-fi units. Be my guess. Still fucking sucks paying for it though
good, the fucking scum deserve it
Man, it's almost as if they didn't spend millions lobbying to do exactly that.
L2business, retard.
this
Weird, I just upgraded to Gigabit service (first time even available in my region) for less than OPs picture, LOL.
Comcast gigabit? They're just finally implementing DOCSIS 3.1. It's nothing impressive and they'll probably raise the price before long.
>$75 a month for 25mbps
hahahaha holy shit
I pay less than that and I live on a third world south american shithole
>Or you pay 200 fucking bucks a month.
I don't even have this choice, fucking Jewdiacom
I turned my T61 into a mass downloader using a 2TB seashit and BTRFS root.
Bypass this shitty service with mullvad and public WIFI.
Some of the smaller coffee shops and uni hardwires get you some fire.
>I pay less than that and I live on a third world south american shithole
That's why you pay less, dumbfuck
I get 10mbps for free and its all i need. Except that there is a bad node near me and that sometimes my internet stops working entirely.
no you idiot, internet prices have more to do with the installed infrastructure than with purchasing power
if the people can't pay high prices, they just supply a smaller bandwith
i pay that for 15
Spectrum is Charter / Brighthouse nee Time Warner.
>$75 a month for 25mbps
ayo hol up
I'm getting 200mbps for 60 dollarydoos
sauce or fuck off
Suace?
America.
Land of the free.
where in ausfailia can you get 200Mbps for $60?
>buying internet
>not putting a large wifi antenna on your roof and pirating internet from every wifi hotspot in your city
I fucking live in the Bay Area. Not just "Bay Area Periphery," I live 13 miles from your libshit boogeymen capital of the world. I pay 60 freedom units for 200mbps.
>comcast
>australia
fuck off
>dollarydoos
>not a reference to australian dollars
I have comcast 250 in fucksville, nowhere for only $130.
i graduated with 40 people
that small
so, yeah.
NN had nothing to do with price controls
Don't worry I am sure the extra money will go towards improving infrastructure and increasing speeds!
NN repeal will take action after 60 days from voting. In these 60 days NN repeal can be repealed!
So you know, moron.
t. idgaf not burger
the absolute state of nu-newfags
The US don't need NN.
What they actually need is the separation of cable deployment and ISPs.
Basically a presidential ban on companies that do both.
The whole monopoly scheme works by the cities not wanting to have several cables ran on the streets, so comcast or AT&T comes and get a monopoly that way.
But if the cable is not controlled by an ISP, any ISP can use the cable and you can choose between em, you know, like dial up.
But shit is so bad you probably will need to put a death penalty for offering both.
So far the municipal providers have worked out best. Many of them are either co-ops or are public infrastructure maintained privately.
Stupid fucking ameriniggers. Have you twats ever heard of something called a boycott?
As long is not comcast/at&t/verizon laying the cables, there's not much of a difference.
So far municipal has been contracted out to companies that only install lines. No comcast/at&t/verizon. Since it's unionized, it's usually easier to just hire a company that does nothing other than installs.
And how's the internet prices there?
I pay $100 for 6mbps in Australia..
It varies slightly but the standard is comparable to google fiber: $70/mo for gigabit
Well, time to your city to pick the telegraph and tell the others.
anybody?
Get enough people together to get the attention of politicians and you can get not-shit service in your area.
>equivalent of $20 for 10Mb/s
such is life in slavlands
I pay$90 for the same but with a cap.
>boycott
>ISP choices in my area is Comcast vs. ATT
>getting ATT
Except that the FCC would have sued them. Which it can't do anymore
