The point is, you shouldn't HAVE to. Everyone should already have the same speed. But the ISP's specifically degraded the speed of Netflix because they created competing services.

Might as well give it up, Kevin. The anarchists here will never accept that any regulation is ever a good thing. They all seem set on overlooking the history of unbridled capitalism.

not reading the entire thread. but it is not constitutional just like most of what zero does. Should have been handled by Congress. Un-elected committee making law. I repeat unconstitutional.

Furnish some links and then you'll be able to drop the rhetoric.

Proposed 2014 US FCC policy

On 19 February 2014 the FCC announced plans to formulate new rules to enforce net neutrality while complying with the court rulings.[55] On 23 April 2014, in a press statement, the Federal Communications Commission announced their new proposed rules which would allow Broadband Internet service providers, such as Comcast and Verizon, the "right to build special lanes" with faster connection speeds for companies, such as Netflix, Disney or Google, willing to pay a higher price. Their customers would have preferential access.[3][4][56][57] On 15 May the FCC launched a public comment period on how FCC rulemaking could best protect and promote an open Internet,[58] garnering over one million responses—the most the FCC had ever received for rulemaking.[59]

The new proposed rules have received heavy criticisms, with many claiming they are ruining the internet. Opponents of the rules declared September 10, 2014 to be the "Internet Slowdown". On it, participating websites were purposely slowed down to show what they feel would happen if the new rules took effect. Websites that participated in the Internet Slowdown include: Netflix, Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter, Vimeo and Kickstarter.[60][61][62][63][64][65][66]

On 26 February 2015, the FCC ruled in favor of net neutrality by reclassifying broadband access as a telecommunications service and thus applying Title II (common carrier) of the Communications Act of 1934 to internet service providers.[11][67][68][69]

Oh I don't expect to win anything, I do this for fun. I just love to see these guy's heads explode when someone actually thinks for themselves. With a small few exceptions, these guys arguing the other side have never had an original thought in their lives. They only know what the talking head tell them. They are NO different from the liberals they constantly criticize. Little unthinking drones. Just how the two parties like their followers.

If you like your internet....

There is no back room secret committe, you can read the 1934 Communications Act Title II law for yourself. Hell, we've lived it our whole lives.

Hardly. Rather you and a few appear to be ignoring the collective history of obama and soros. I fear the latter more than the former.

Statements like that are the tip off that you don't even understand the issue.

No? Why couldn't we read the 300+ pages the committee ruled on beforehand?

Same speed for the same low price. Each to his needs ect. Sound similar? miles

Statements like that are the tip off that you don't even understand the issue.

EVERY major tech company in the US was for this.

What does it matter? No new law was passed?

Look at China and how their Government rules the internet

You should fear both, and use your head to discern which is in play and when.
