Net neutrality gone?
| I mean sure, with that attitude.
Course if some enterprising individuals grouped together and made their own network infrastructure / ISP... You'd be the only game in town that people could count on for non prioritized traffic.
Comcast can only throttle traffic to people if they can control the networks. If there was another network they wouldn't be able to.

| Shit like these start somewhere and end all over anyway

Not if the house agrees to institute the Congressional Review Act, it isn't.

Going forward, Internet providers like Comcast will legally be allowed to censor websites, block apps and services, and charge us extra fees to access online content. The Internet as we know it won’t suddenly end. But with each second that passes until net neutrality is restored, it will be slowly dying.
People are angry. And rightly so. We need to channel that anger productively and flood House lawmakers with calls and emails demanding that they use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overrule the FCC.
So take whatever corner of the Internet that you control — whether it’s a major platform or a personal instagram account — and harness its reach to pressure Congress. Here’s how:

| My home state (WA) passed a law that took effect mandating net neutrality for all ISPs within the state. Comcrap et al are either going to leave the state or take WA to court (probably court). It's interesting, our attorney general (and several constitutional lawyers) used the FCC's ruling that they don't have the authority to mean that the States therefore have the right to regulate ISPs themselves. Interesting times ahead, for sure.
