[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"][QUOTE="Ace6301"] Because net Neutrality would put the internet into the hands of businesses my good chap, because when people say they don't want the government censoring the internet they clearly would rather be charged out the ass by big business for it!xromad01
precisely.
I trust my government a helluva lot more than I do internet companies, especially given the history of how my internet company (Charter) has treated me and pretty much everyone I know.
i have heard alot of complaints about charter from friends who live in other parts of the country but i have yet to have a single problem with their service the past 14 years or so.my wife doesn't use the pc that much but with myself and 3 kids each having a computer,there is obviously alot of traffic.but we have yet to have any problems as far as bandwidth restrictions or even any tech problems. however,once i tried verizon,after a few weeks i recieved a letter saying my service would be terminated due to excessive usage. my only question about pay as go. how would wifi work?what if someone uses the neighbor's internet connection,or stays in a hotel and steals internet from someone else.Charter is good when it is working, I wont deny them credit for that.
It is just the little things. The costs have gone up about 25 cents every month since Ive used them; that doesnt seem like a lot, but when I started I was paying 25 dollars a month, now I am paying 44 or so.
The quality of internet fluctuates constantly; while it might work 90% of the time, it only works well for a fraction of that time.
Their service sucks as well; I swear, theyre really good for the first month or two but once they got you in, they must flip a switch to "crap" or something because its gone down the hole.
There is a reason Charter is facing bankruptycy, and the fact that they see bullcrap like the above FCC plans as their salvation frightens me.
