FCC Has Voted to Repeal Net Neutrality Rules

The cable was always slower due to its shared architecture. The fiber optic system in our area is spotty at best.
Long story short, DSL is broadband, but it may not be fast enough for your needs. I am with you on NN. It needs to stay.

If DSL is 3 Mbps/768 kbps or more, then it IS broadband, as per FCC definition, from before 2010.

DSL's architecture is shared, not cable - I had 28 kbps at homework time with AT&T before booting them. The plan was sold as 6Mbps.

Cable can throttle you, as the same line brings 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps right now, with the same high-speed modem. This how they provide different tiers of service, a step that actually takes more work for the provider, the slippery slope in technical support.

Fiber-optic from AT&T and Verizon are still customer service glitched services. Apparently, Google has better standards.

FCC to FTC good or bad!?

You may wish to consult a dictionary. Broadband has never been about speed; it's about the technology behind the connection.

The archaic reference to broadband means anything that is more than a single channel; Morse-code, narrow band, DSL that carries signal for internet on top of audio for telephony is therefore Broadband. Anything better than dial-up internet, by definition, is Broadband!

OTA tv signal is Broadband, even if it is not two-way. So is cable TV, from its infancy.

It was clarified by the FCC in 2010 that 3Mbps/786Kbps is the minimum standard for referring anything as Broadband; later upped to 4Mbps.

Personally, I couldn't accept DSL that delivered 28Kbps as internet service above dial-up, definitely not Broadband. So, AT&T was fired.

The internet was a different place prior to 2 years ago, and is continuing to change on a consistent basis. There is one thing that is for sure, allowing ISPs to control the internet has no potential to do anything positive for anyone but shareholders

Except do what I said... Force innovation by people who are sick of an oligopoly running/ruining the internet for everyone. Our internet hasn't been great here as it is. We have no competition, slow speeds, and high prices on average compared to many places.

That's like the most stupid post I've read on this forum for a long time.

I’m honored.

Corrupt to the point where we would lose the respect of the entire world, lose internet freedom and watch the government have a war on the free press?

...ok then

Of note, net neutrality is all about equality. This is not to imply there were no fake submissions for net neutrality.

IT'S SUPER HARD TO FIND HUMANS IN THE FCC’S NET NEUTRALITY COMMENTS
Researchers at FiscalNote previously identified nearly one million comments as bot submissions, all of them opposing net neutrality.

It’s also hard to find humans in the Democrat voter registry.

Amazing that they vote for something that is bad for people and in broad day light

More amazing that half of the country voted for them.

Dude. Thats the dumbest rationale I have ever seen here.

Thanks for the laugh.

It's not dumb rationale, it's the truth. They didn't put forward a good candidate. People that came out to vote for Obama didn't come out for Hillary Clinton, theres a reason for that. She wasn't a good candidate. If you voted her through the primaries you are part of the problem, not the solution. Period.

The primaries did not matter, where Clinton was concerned. The party chose her and their super delegate system put her in place. Didn't matter if they held primaries.

Maybe you liberals can put on your vagina hats again and scream at the sky some more.

The side where a political party worked with Russia to fabricate a document, then the husband of the fabricator was put in change of the investigation for the FBI who then also worked with Russia to 'confirm' the validity of the fabricated document resulting in a patrician independent prosecutor???

Broke like that?

Where is the down button when you need it? No...not like the fake news you just referenced.

Not a Trump voter, but I'm happy that he destroyed that Syrian air base and pulled us out of a few crappy international organizations. Obama was alright except that he was a total loser when dealing with Syria and Russia. That and he massively raised taxes ON THE SELF-EMPLOYED to fund ACA, probably because the self-employed don't have a lobby. At least Trump has the courage to go against the grain, and I can admire that even though there are plenty of things I hate about him.

Come on....you are Trump voter or just a conservative.

Stop trying to pass yourself off as a neutral person that didn't vote for Trump but suddenly you are inline with all the rights talking points, agree with what trump has done, etc..etc.

I'm not a Trump voter, but I'm kinda conservative. But foreign policy isn't really a party issue in most cases. I could list everything I don't like about him if you think I'm lying. Appealing to idiots, taxing university endowments, needlessly increasing the deficit, attacking net neutrality, investing in fossil fuels, calling climate change a hoax, caring about Israel even more than most US politicians, offending people for no reason. I'd rather have Obama.
