Oh ok thanks. I was thinking this was already something in place in another country. This is what it's going to look like when Comcast and At&t get free rain. It will be cable all over again for the internet.Twitter (the first)
Second - is from a tweet/article indicating what something like the would look like in the US

Fantastic . I don't know if this is what could happen, this might be what will happen without Net Neutrality.it is what exists elsewhere:
Portugal shows an extreme example of what could happen in America.

They are going to. You can already see signs of it with mobile carries. They will give you free rein on their streaming content, but dock you for others. This is going to be even worse once Net Neutrality is gone.Some folks see these regulations as "heavy-handed" because in their mind, it was working just fine before the switch to Title II and the implementation for enforced net neutrality. But a lot has changed even since the early aughts (00'). ISP's like Comcast have become vertically integrated with content providers and have far more incentive to restrict access to content they are not direct beneficiaries of. With the handcuffs permanently off, what is to stop them from taking advantage of that?

...This country is really being taken to the woodshed by the GOP, and repealing net neutrality is just one more example...
Ohh do tell us how the internet will be without net neutrality oh great and smart one.The net neutrality people are absolutely losing it on twitter. I've never seen people so gullible in my entire life.
There are tweets saying things like "You will be charged $2.99 for a google search starting next month" with 200,000 re-tweets.
People are insanely gullible.

Expect no. In 1996 we were all on dial and didn't have youtube, streaming music, or video, or high speed internet. The only isp in 1996 was AOL and tat was a walled garden. Now that we have over the top services that can be throttled by the big providers, Comcast in favor of their own services it will become an issue. It already was a few year ago when Comcast held Netflix hostage.Exactly like it was between 1996 and 2015.
You're welcome.

So AOL didn't exist in 1996? Comcast didn't throttle Netflix?Not a word of that is true.

It was the biggest ISP that had dial up, well there was Prodigy, but that really didn't take off. We didn't have broadband or much content on the internet. Sure you could have had a T1 line but those were mega expensive.You claimed AOL was the only ISP, which is simply not true.
The FCC has been unofficially punishing ISPs.
Also Comcast has slowed down Netflix streaming. Netflix had to pay Comcast a premium to get speeds back to normal. You think Netflix will eat those costs or raise subscription prices?
A new opinion piece
http://beta.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-fcc-net-neutrality-vote-20171212-story.html
President Trump's appointee as FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, argues that those rules have "depressed investment in building and expanding broadband networks."
They haven't. What they've depressed is the ability of telecom companies to fleece broadband internet customers who have cut the cord on pricey pay-TV packages and switched to streaming-video services.
People saying that stuff like that will start immediately are taking it to an extreme, but that is only because the cable companies want to let it blow over and have people forget about Net neutrality before they start sneaking in extra charges for sites that they don’t get a direct benefit from.The net neutrality people are absolutely losing it on twitter. I've never seen people so gullible in my entire life.

Not a word of that is true.
The Comcast-Netflix issue was also dealt with and resolved long before Obama's "net neutrality" rules. And if Netflix alone is using up to 40% of network bandwidth, it's only fair they pay ISPs who are the ones investing in infrastructure improvements.
