Okay...I was all for Net Neut but then did some deep research. First of all, that poll is inaccurate. Secondly, they are paying people on social media to act as if they lost access and to scream. One must understand that there are companies benefiting from having it. Take a look at the names, like Amazon, Google (which has weighted NN positive articles), Facebook which support keeping it. Do the research and not fall for the arms in the air stuff for did you not have access to the web before NN happened?
Now, there is some good to it. If you have crappy access to the web in the US, competition will now come in and raise the bar, meaning better, faster service. And...now read this carefully, look at all the better deals on cell phone packages of late. That is what can happen to opening things up. Prices will not necessarily go up for they still have to cater to the public ... meaning they have to give you a good product or someone will undercut them.
Getting rid of NN means more choices. It is true that some can hit you fees but that will not last long due,again, to comp just like your phone services and the lower prices via data war and extras we are seeing now.
What they want you to think is that your intenet will go up while not telling you the sucky quality o it in the US which is some of the worst in the world is because of NN and that no other companies under the structure want to come in and spend money to improve it or take on those who have the market cornered. (<run on sentence)
There has been tons of money spent to on fake accounts (look it up, do the work) that are pushing hard to keep it. They are making noise to keep it as is where companies will not have to invest in ways to make it faster and better.
Now, as I said, I was all for it before doing research. Heck, I was ready to lead a march or something....Most of the stuff you are being fed is like a political ad with bogus information, such as most of Americans want to keep it when those polls are taken after they feed you the line, it will end your world. They want you to think your bill is going up while not letting you know how much better the quality can become by allowing companies to compete for your money. They are hoo-dooing you.
FWIW, I can live with it or without it. But, do some homework.
Free-market advocates say paid prioritization in other industries, such as highway toll roads, have spurred investment that benefit the larger public. In this case, that could mean more investment in broadband infrastructure, such as expanding and improving wireless and fiber networks that would increase internet access and overall data speeds.
But supporters of net neutrality say consumers could be charged extra to stream certain content if they don’t want to be hampered by network congestion. Others have warned that customer choice of internet service providers could shrink and prices could increase.
They cannot block access to sites without pissing off customers who will then go to another service. At the present time there is no incentive for companies to dump money into improvements with NN as it stands. I still say, that just like the cell companies, competition will keep any one service from majorly ripping you off after doing the research. Besides, if they go to a jacked up model, it would just bring back NN to stay in due time.
