Nah, what you were saying is nonsense. FR is nearly 100% text, so it is transmitted about as instantly as a web page can be. The “slow downs” that you complain about were put in place for bandwidth-hogging services like high def movie downloads and file sharing services, which can keep your internet usage near 100% 24 hours a day. No providers ever bothered to try to “slow down” a simple forum like FR, because they were not the problem.
On the other hand, now that the government has total control to impose whatever standards they want, they are free to censor any content, like FR, that they might deem subversive. While the internet providers had control over their own networks, the main concerns were strictly economical, but now that the government is involved, expect them to be much more political.
The idea behind NN is to make sure the network is left alone and not tampered with.
The government is involved in your home phone (if you have one) ... how’s that working for you? How about your cell phone - government regulation there, too. Have they told you that you have to quit saying some things? ... LOL ...
AND ... your electricity is under government regulation of one kind or another. Have they cut you off, because you’re a Freeper? ... :-) ...
Then, if you have natural gas (which I do) have they notified you, because of your anti-Obama talk, you can’t have service any longer?
Maybe they told you that you can’t have water from the city government ... if you happen to be hooked up there. Haven’t you heard, no Freepers can get any public water service! ... LOL ...
I would say you’ve got a lot more to worry about on all those other government regulations than you do about the Internet ... :-) ...
They’ll let you have the Internet ... just no electricity, no natural gas, no public water service, no phone, no cell phone ... but your Internet will work (as long as you have solar power, that is) ... LOL ...
