I bet the internet execs couldn't even sleep at night for having to charge the poor old man so much money for just sending a few emails. I pay for internet service at the speeds we both agreed to. Just because they think they can make a little more money by taxing the popular sites they decided to slow down people's service. Same thing strait talk was I a class action lawsuits for. Your direct TV analogy didn't take in account I could watch all that stuff online for free. So plug that into your equation.

I've yet to find an issue where I don't agree with Ben Shapiro. Net neutrality isn't necessary. Internet was fine before 2015. Right now the market is free If the government is regulating it, it's not a free market. Exactly. People will either agree to pay whatever and deal with the ISPs, or they won't. If people back away from the current ISPs, you can bet your tail that some savvy businessmen will start other ISPs to compete in the market place. That's how an actual "free market" works. Consumers move the market with their $$$. Possibly,but until that happens consumers will be taken advantage of. Right now I have extremely crappy internet. I'm suppose to get 10mbps. I've never got more than 1.5mbps but there is ZERO other choice. It's Century link or nothing. What do you want to bet than CL uses the removal of net neutrality to increase my cost without increasing my service? Yes,eventually the market will right its self,but it might take 5-10 years in some areas and service providers will bank until then.

You have other options.
You could move. You could gather some business partners and create your own ISP. You could organize a large consumer base and negotiate with CL collectively. You could get satellite internet.
Possibilities are endless. It's all depends on how much you want internet and how much you want to invest.

Price and speed have nothing to do with net neutrality. With all due respect, price and speed have everything to do with net neutrality.

Price and speed have nothing to do with net neutrality. This has to do with GOVERNMENT controlling what you see and read on the net. Just like the ACA, it's more government control. Now it's gone. This is part of the dismantling of the Obama agenda. Hillary would have expanded it in her reign but thankfully she did not win. The internet won't change and may even get better. Might wanna do some more research, cause everything you just said was ass backwards.

From my simple research it appears that the Clayton Act of 1914 would indeed prohibit all of the argument against repealing Net Neutrality.

we keep talking in circles here. No one answers the question i directly ask them.
Remington my question to you was "whats wrong with the way it was for the last 2 years? Here's the answer. The government once it controls the free market it is not longer a free market for the consumer, period. The government will decide without accountability what you as the consumer can see, do, read, discuss, and what and how you will pay for the pleasure of the government doing you a favor. In other words that will decide what the googles of the world can do and they will make monster monopolies out of their good friends through regulation and prevent competition from the small start ups and the googles of the world will love the heavy hand of regulation stifling competitive businesses!! Look at the States that "control" healthcare access through Certificates of Needs, which do produces government approved monopolies and drives the cost up all the while telling the servants they are reducing the cost of care. Yes, a GIANT LIE, just like net neutrality scam. That should answer your question although it may require research on your part regarding certificate of needs.

What else shall I do while I got my damn magic wand out.Tell me again how this is a win for you. Oh and by the way the world turned and the sun came up before someone risked a HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY ON AN IDEA that the world might like to have access that his idea could provide, shouldn't he be rewarded for taking the chance while the world only wants to feed on his risk at no cost?? not to mention there are people in the world that don't live or use the internet and they do fine. You do have a choice to pay for the risk that someone else took or not too. Simple really, pay the piper or don't listen to the music. Oh, and by the way I am not Al Gore!
