I'm gonna quote myself real quick and expand on what I said earlier.
I repeat that you are biting the hand that feeds you if you are in any way against Net Neutrality. You have to understand what the internet WAS, what it IS and what it CAN BE. If you think for a moment that the companies whose lines support the traffic of the internet should be able to RULE OVER the flow of data within their domain, then you probably have no concept of what promotes progress. Sorry. These companies are already compensated for the USE of their lines and this compensation should negate any favoritism they might want to enforce on the traffic. Simply put; it would be having their cake and eating it too. And where would that leave you, lone consumer? Fucked. Where would that leave me as a content provider? Fucked.
The internet, in order to reach its full potential, needs freedom to grow.
The internet is more important than any concept that you might think of to justify the actions of anti-net neutrality. The internet is the future backbone of our society and I'll be damned if we hand it over to greedy companies before it has a chance to mature.
