Everyone said the internet would end if NN was repealed. What positive and negative things have you seen happen in the industry since Net Neutrality got repealed?
>Positives Multiple ISPs committing to invest in infrastructure Multiple ISPs giving $1,000 bonuses to their employees Multiple ISPs raising the wages of their workers Some ISPs raising speeds for their customers for free

Are you clinically retarded? Just give it a bit ISPs don't give money out for free.
Brandon Jenkins
Comcast just increased my speed from 50mbps to 100mbps. I'm only paying $40 a month. Thanks Ajit!
Owen Adams
And all those $1000 bonus checks come from?
Wyatt Nguyen
>Everyone said the internet would end if NN was repealed You destroyed that strawman OP
Lincoln Harris
My Comcast speed went from 75 to 100 in a week.
I think the net neutrality meme was just that, a fucking leftist misinformed meme.
Nolan Peterson
For now.
Aiden Phillips
NN is a lie.
Jack Ward
Yes, just like DRUMPF was going to ruin America.
William Price
everything's "for now" you dumb faggot you're alive "for now" tomorrow you might be raped to death by a gaggling gang of niggers "for now" lmao dumbshit
Isaac Reyes
The internet won't end. But burgers (yea, you are not the internet) expose themselves and their market to being "taxed" by ISP exclusive / priority peering agreements.
They will charge stores and customers both because they can. Enjoy your "premium" connectivity without bittorrent and a good connection to Japan.
Jaxon Rogers
That's nice dear.
Nathaniel Price
Are you really that willing to be a shill?
Nathaniel Martin
I've seen no net positives. I've also yet to see any MAJOR negatives however I have observed some things that make me uneasy. There have been a some small price hikes with Comcast specifically and in general I've seen some various news about telcomms pushing for even more deregulation. I think they're gearing up for a major change soon and the only thing holding them up is either legal issues or logistics. I do not feel any upcoming changes will be to the benefit of the consumer.
Ryan Powell
What?

>comitted to invest... >comitted Are you really so easily fooled
>$bonuses Theyre also cutting jobs to the tunes of thousands trickle down BTFO
"bonuses" could and should be wage increases, benefit increases, etc these companies have BILLIONS in banked cash. $1000 and job cuts is pathetic
>raising wages [citation required]
>increasing speeds o wow you mean we'll finally have 10mb upload in america while the rest of the developed world has 100mb. yippee!
>negatives job cuts shitty bonuses, not wage or benefit increase reclassifying smartphones as internet so isps can lie

Oh, no! What shall we do without access to bittorrent to download Linux ISOs!? So sad ;_;

James Baker
Net Neutrality isn't going to stop them charging more, dumbass.
Gabriel Sanders
comcast specifically raised prices during net neutrality year after year.
Henry Campbell
This. Fuck OP
Austin Parker
Did you miss the news about AT&T and Comcast firing thousands of workers so they don't have to pay the $1000 bonus?
The repeal doesn't even go into effect for like, another month and a half.
Zachary Fisher
This. They can neutrally offer you 1mb/s for $1000.
Colton Jenkins
Thanks for reading the most important parts of the post? If you don't like the site you can just read the lawsuit.
Robert Anderson
These stupid drones should consider themselves lucky they even got $1000 bonuses. Every single one of them can either be replaced by some Chink, Pajeet, or spic willing to work harder and longer hours for less or they can be automated out of existence. We give these beggers jobs out of the kindness of OUR HEARTS AT GREAT EXPENSE TO OUR COMPANIES. WE DON'T HAVE TO. They're lucky to make minimum wage. Asking for more money and benefits is downright greedy and you un-American fucks should be fucking ashamed of yourself. Go move to Communist Russia if you want shit handed to you on a silver platter you fucking millennial degenerates.
Asher Gray
bonuses are essentially tax writeoffs
Ian Watson
>reddit spacing >lies on the internet Pathetic. I actually can't. Chinks will never replace me I am laterally a god. We won you lost enjoy your faster internet speeds and better ruralnet expansion goy. I'll enjoy my bonus and fucking my hot wife.
Mason Martinez
>lol just wait until ISPs do something bad then pretend it was related to net neutrality
Gavin Morris
Same here
Kevin Gutierrez
all of those are being deported. instead of being a redditor brainwashed by commies, you should get on board with the ENTIRE package.
Mason Reyes
>it's okay when op and pro-net neutrality comments reddit space
Cooper Fisher
It's just PR until this all dies down. Can't you see the long con?
I based it all on an unsourced reddit comment I saw. Hold on a sec it'll take me awhile to google this
Lincoln Baker
google i
not an argument
Gavin Cruz
>Just like they did 10 years ago and then just sat on the cash fake / misrepresentation of events, based on reddit comments
>While at the same time firing tens of thousands you mean like they do every year? like how they raised prices every year since NN passed? >Already been a thing for decades oh im glad youre referencing past trends, but somehow you forgot to with the firings. im sure it was an honest mistake.

Owen Baker
we did it reddit
Tyler Hall
I'm not a burger, can someone explain to me the price/speed meme? I thought NN was about charging more for specific types of content. But everyone is crying that internet speeds will decrease and internet prices will increase. What's the correlation? What part of net neutrality prevented companies from charging $350/mo for 1/0.1 u/d?
Carter Ramirez
>Multiple ISPs committing to invest in infrastructure They already had this chartered out, regardless of NN. >Multiple ISPs giving $1,000 bonuses to their employees One time. >Multiple ISPs raising the wages of their workers I've not heard of this, it's doubtful and at best likely tied more closely with the tax cuts. >Some ISPs raising speeds for their customers for free Charter did this with NN in place here. This is anecdotal at best.
Adrian Campbell
Prove that raising prices was due to NN. It's funny how much you mention reddit considering you are from t_d
Gabriel Williams
not that guy but >prove to me an argument you didn't make God damn you have reading comprehension problems. Go back to community college already.
Nicholas Reed
Prove that firing people was due to NN. It's funny how much you mention reddit considering you are from sandersforpresident
Logan Wright
There is no correlation. This whole thread is retarded
Elijah Rivera
The post I quoted literally said that prices have been raised every year since NN was introduced. No reason to say that unless there is direct proof that they are related.
That wasn't the argument, the real argument is that while companies try to spin their PR to idiots, they are still firing people without any hesitation because all they care about is their profits and not their customers or employees. You simply fall for apple tier PR statements.
It's time to go back
Henry Foster
>Asks for source >says Google it >says no NN is bad, mkay >doesn't say why

Jeremiah Martinez
>it's ok if i don't have an argument, but GOD FORBID THEY DON'T PROVIDE ONE EITHER.
kys swiftly.
Sebastian Williams
Can't be done because NN has zero impact on any practice outside of billing, and even then ISPs didn't have a segmented product line so it couldn't have an effect. That's what's really concerning is the nebulous desire of ISPs to steer away from NN when it has zero fiscal impact, when they haven't had a precedence for segmented product lines. NN was preventing them from doing some really shady shit for profits and they're unwilling to actually argue for the sake of it.
Kayden Taylor
>le smug anime panel xD
Jose Collins
wut is this real??
Alexander Diaz
I for one am glad they did away with NN, and anyone who thinks NN was good is an idiot, shill, or idiotic shill.
the jobs part is literally everywhere, but since you are just a tool - and i cant even find an article to show that they are waising wages, so i will leave that one to you i guess
Aiden Nguyen
are you saying companies should keep dead weight because some berniefag might complain about capitalism on the internet?
Eli Foster
>relying on American telecommunications oligopolies to do anything nice
Remember that $400 billion of taxpayer money that went into investing towards fiber optic infrastructure nationwide?
Me neither, how's that cable/DSL triple promo bundle deal working out for you?
Christian Smith
I guess all it takes is a flashy $1000 to someone like you to be impressed and ignore that while they push that PR so hard they are firing people in the background.
But nope, you enjoy that $1000 goy!
Brandon Reyes
NN has nothing to do with infrastructure. NN has nothing to do with employment. NN has nothing to do with freedom of speech. NN has nothing to do with Title II. Title II only affects companies that opt into the Broadband classification to apply for subsidies. They can opt out and resume normal practice. Title II does not prevent ISPs from throttling or blocking illicit content. (ie torrenting, video archives, porn, etc). FCC's existence is to censor the use of public broadband services and prevent monopolies of its use. They have no power to institute or regulate net neutrality because they exist to censor. FTC's existence is regulate trade and business. They have power to institute and regulate net neutrality. Local State leaders also have the power to institute net neutrality within their State. All the proponents of Title II were also proponents of censorship.
Jews and Democrats are unAmerican.
Sebastian Bennett
Anyone ever notice how pro-NN faggots use comcast as their whipping boy as an argument for NN, when comcast has been pulling shady shit the whole time NN was enforced? Trick no good NNfags
Aiden Hernandez
>all they did was agree to repeat NN >the actual repeal hashnt even happened yet
No shit nothing has changed yet you fucking mongoloids. God the fact that i share a board with you mouthbreathers is depressing as fuck.
Also the fact that you willingly shill for ISPs is embarassing as fuck.
Jaxon Myers
>There's no such thing as a long con

Landon Mitchell
>I'm okay with having to pay more for less
Gabriel Parker
Except they lay off employees every year, and percentage wise, the amount of employees lay offed would be about the same as a 200 person company laying off one person. They also laid off people in their cable sector, and we live in the generation of cable cutters. What did you expect, AT&T to pay employees to do nothing? Go back to /r/politics and /r/latestagecapitalism cuck.
Colton Watson
I see you have the new AT&T talking points, keep up the good work Eric!
Comcast is part of the reason NN started in the first place you fucking dip. They were already doing shady shit like throttling competitors and NN stopped them.
Data caps are simply greed.
It doesn't even make sense to talk about the dumb AT&T bonus and pay raises (which are unfounded claims) because those don't even have anything to do with NN.
Samuel Robinson
Brought to you by Google™ Netflix™ and Amazon™ you and op are retards fighting on behalf of corporations, neither of you are even advocating the correct way of doing things you are basically Sup Forumstard console war fags
Hunter Garcia
Nice implication, did you take it right from your ass?
Liam Clark
actually they never really did, that "shady shit" was when a new service came on so they had to change their shit to get it to work right they even worked with bittorrent
Connor Long
Fuck off kike.
Ian Taylor
Why do you desperately white knight companies so hard?
Levi Thomas
Both sides are on the behalf of corporations, one side lets you trust the ISP to do what is right and not fuck you over, which has literally been proven to happen.
Jackson Scott
Of course not. Go back to reeeeddit. You have to be at least 18 to be here.
Lincoln Nguyen
>how could net neutrality be good if comcast is giving me FREE stuff for ending it and basically YOU'RE fucking stupid for wanting it
Andrew Allen
I don't have a Netflix account, so I don't think I've experienced any negatives yet.
Aaron Parker
Are you retarded? You are saying that they had to readjust their network to handle bit torrent traffic, which had existed for years and years before that?
Ayden Lee
Why are you a marxist?
Also, nothing you said refuted what I said, so what you had was not an argument.
Lucas Nguyen
>Some ISPs raising speeds for their customers for free Right after NN was repealed my internet speeds went up 30mbps.
Angel Scott
I honestly don't care what happens about net neutrality. Liberals are angry and that's all I care about. They have ruined this world, made it almsot a crime to be white, and frustrating their utopian vision where everyone is a faggy tranny is all I want in life now.
I am a little annoyed its an Indian doing it, but whatever.
Cooper Rodriguez
Show a bill before and after.
My speeds went from 60 to 80 around 6 months ago, with no end to NN in sight. Seems like during NN they could still do that, amazing!
Ian Wright
>Multiple ISPs committing to invest in infrastructure invest as much as they did during net neutrality >Multiple ISPs raising the wages of their workers minimum wage is being raised in many places >Some ISPs raising speeds for their customers for free and they have been giving promotional packages before, often without telling it will cost more 3 months down the line
Julian Lewis
Wow, 500 whole workers? Out of 150,000+?? That's insane!!! Fuck comcast, amirite?
Joshua Harris
Makes sense, since with net neutrality you have to pay for other peoples bandwidth needs. I never understood what people expected when they were upset that ISPs charge Google and Netflix extra for loading their network. I mean, fuck, someone has to pay for the infrastructure.
If it's illegal to "ask" Google to do it because muh net neutrality, it's gonna be the customer who pays.
Daniel Perez
