Exactly this. I saw no difference in access to the Internet prior to 2015. Just scare mongering by the left. :/
Muahahaha the left lose!!!!!
Wait, why is my Netflix buffering on my 300mbit fiber line?

"Tell me again about what it was like with Net Neutrality, Papa"
Don't you just love the fear-mongering?
Hell I was told I was fear-mongering when Obamacare was going to let me keep my plan/doctor and save me $$$. In reality my plan was illegal, lost my doctor, and pay 3x more in premiums, 10x for prescriptions, but hey, I get free transgender counseling and female birth control (as a male) so I have that going for me...which is nice.
Literally have zero credibility. Dodd/Frank killed much of the financing markets. Federal takeover of student loans encouraged debt to get pointless degrees.
No. But it was possible to hinder it, and totally legal. The fact that nobody did, or was caught doing it, is not the point.
The Obama-era law means that all sites like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Apple, Uber, eBay, etc are treated the same. Now they don't have to be again. Your internet provider could simply cut out Amazon's services, and you can't use that site anymore at more than a snail's pace, which would render Amazon useless. How is this good?
I think we'll be ok. The free market will naturally prevent ISPs from screwing with customers too much. If my ISP pulls anything, I'll just switch ISPs.
First of all this has nothing to do with the Commerce Clause, which dictates the powers of Congress not the FCC. Second, the prohibition of marijuana isn't a particularly partisan issues, and insofar as it is, it is the Republicans who steadfastly refuse to legalize it (Jeff Sessions is a particular vociferous opponent of legalization). So not sure what your point is there...
Most people have an elementary understanding of how title 2 works or they haven’t been alive before 2015. Calm the F down.
Edit: way too much misinformation being spread by people on twitter, YouTube and Reddit claiming they know what they are talking about when they have no clue. Nothing is going to change except that we actually might get high speeds into low income neighborhoods and more competition.

LOL. You have seriously got to be kidding. Don't complain when AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc. bend all their customers over...
Your naivety and sanctimony is what helped Trump win. Congrats. Perfect candidates don’t exist.
Because you didn't react with your wallet by changing providers when they (if they) will ever do that.
Trump isn’t getting impeached. Not agreeing with him or hating him won’t cut it. We Are just fine and he’s fulfilling promises he made if elected.
So why is this taking this law away good then? Just because Trump said so? Tell me the benefits of it instead of just being politically partisan.
And tell me all the 'horror' stories of this law from 2015 to 2017. What did this law prevent you from doing?
You obviously don't understand supply/demand or any idea of economics. :/
It's not over. It will go to court like it has twice before.
But way to listen to the American public, FCC. "despite a recent survey showing that 83 percent of Americans — including 3 out of 4 Republicans — opposed the plan."

You understand that there is a difference between "you can't do this" (under the Obama admin) and "there's not a rule right now, but we'll probably/might/you better worry about us coming to get you for it, plus the tech doesn't really make this viable yet. (pre Obama) and "Go ahead, we're not doing sh-- to stop you now." (Today), right?
It's not a law, it's a repeal of an Obama regulation. :/
Funny that the people on the right talk about fear mongering and then go on to say "innovation crumbles under regulation!!"
yeah the Internet really sucked in 2014 and 2015.
Folks, lay off reddit, you might learn something.

Educate myself?
Netflix signed an agreement with Level3, a Tier-1 ISP. Level3 had an agreement with Verizon called a Peering Agreement where they agreed to dump the same amount of traffic from the Tier-1 networks onto each others network. Level3 broke this agreement so Verizon enforced it by limiting the amount of traffic Level3 dumped on Verizons Tier-1 network.
Pretty simple stuff and really had nothing to do with Netflix or the type of content Netflix was serving. That network traffic could have been corporate backups, streaming music, Bittorrent. Wouldn't have mattered.
Netflix was trying to abuse Verizon/Level3 cost sharing agreement without paying for a service. They simply wanted to shift their operating costs to Verizon instead of paying Level3.
