Does Ted Cruz not understand Net Neutrality?

You must get a good connection down there that even makes South Korea and Sweden jealous.

Whats your connection speed? I have charter and pay $30 something a month and get 60mbps. Now of course it aint the fastest. But its pretty far from the slowest. Really just for personal needs i cant see a need to go faster for the foreseeable future. Im trying to understand your complaint. Do you live in an area where you cant get cable? I used to live in an area where I had dsl which was 2.3bmps.

I'm paying $64 for 30/5.
Fucking rape.
Personal needs are not the fucking issue. Being stuck in the past is the problem.
Do you not understand the two issues being discussed here? One is the ISP's keeping it throttled and not expanding/upgrading enough for what they're charging, and the other is that we're falling behind and paying more for what other countries have.

Is the lack of innovation partly due to lack of consumer demand, I honestly don't know many people if anyone that bitches about their Internet. At least not to the extent of some on here. I want to read what exactly the bill says the government can do in regards to the new utility, my problem is them trying to control the flow of free and open information, I don't give a fuck about speed, if they are censoring shit.

It's lack of competition, not innovation.

I would recommend reading more about what is being proposed. More specifically, about the Open Internet Order, Verizon's lawsuit, and how utilities are regulated.

I'm not sure why we keep coming around to this, but there is no new bill.

If it's just not letting an old peice of legislation, that is obviously not being enforced, expire, fine. But I just want to know in what capacity if any the government seeks to gain any more control over the Internet.

Do you mean to ask what statutes the government claims they have the authority to regulate the internet as a public utility? Title II of the Telecommunications Act.

Why, yes, that would suffice.

No new problem, no new solution, what's all the fuss about then? What is the government trying to do, and with what power and authority already granted to them?

So you're not going to so much as keep up with the talking points in the thread, or google anything anyone's said? You're just against it, because, "government bad?"

Basically, I have googled it and formed an opinion, I just like asking yooze guyz..

I think the idea and concept are good, I agree with the main idea. I just know government and its track record for corruption and being basically full of shit. I see this as a power grab by the fcc to take control of the content of Internet as it politically sees fit.
