If my shitty ass country electric company can come up with the money to build THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of miles of rural fiber lines, and provide uncapped, world-leading internet speed, at an affordable price, why cant companies making money hand over fist?
Oh I know. They can. I was paying 7.99 per mb of download speed, and 53.99 (!!!!!) per mb of upload speed via centurylink I now pay .10 per mb of upload and .10 per mb of download through an electric co-op. So I dont want to hear they cant build infrastructure. Cant and wont are two different things. |

So, does this mean an internet service provider can't charge say
$50 for 200 mbps $30 for 100 mbps $15 for 10 mbps $10 for 2 mbps It would just all be the same speed, for the same price?? ???? anybody know |

It just means they can't prioritize websites/content on the basis of those companies paying for "fast lanes". |

Anyone think now that they'll try to gerimander what a "Legal content provider" is? And some tech has to have prioritization...so does this impact QoS for voice and video traffic?

What scares me the most about this is the fact it sets precedent to do more unpopular things in the future. Am I wrong in assuming it will be easier to move forward regulating other aspects of the internet?
