I pay Verizon

That's part of your problem.

All jokes aside, this is what happens when the Feds disallow net neutrality. You're shelling out money every month for an Internet connection but you're not buying "premium" connectivity "rights." The government has just allowed providers to request more money for premium access. Your NetFlix isn't going to get any better. If anything, it'll get worse, and Verizon will start spamming your Inbox with emails saying, "Buy now to get premium access to NetFlix and other streaming providers!"

Stupid gets what stupid deserves. People were warned. Telecoms like Verizon and ATT are close to criminal and have a history of shady business practices. They are greed heads and want more money and will do anything to achieve it. Heir goal is to control the supply of internet by not building their networks out. As long as bandwidth is limited, they can charge more and invent these ridiculous toll schemes.

Soon we will be back to pay by the hour internet. It’s getting close with these artificial bandwidth limits. Stifle innovation to maintain a monopoly. It worked with telephones for decades. The internet is merely another thing to be controlled and exploited. It needs to be open and neutral but some just don’t see the full picture. Never trust the telecoms of service providers.

this “net neutrality” is a misnamed law.

It would be akin to paying extra taxes to be able to ignore red lights and stop signs.

slow speed is for poor people and slaves (aka low info voters).
