I'm waiting for an explanation of why anyone needs to stream movies (or any garbage TV). If people must watch, there are downloads available. Downloads will never be throttled or tariffed. Can't be censored since people can just download the same thing somewhere else.

I'm also waiting for an explanation of why giant leftist corporations like Google, Netflix, Facebook and Amazon are screaming for this so-called neutrality.

Because it's possible, and the market demands it?

Everyone except for the cable and cell network companies are for net neutrality. People too. It is not a Democrat vs Republican thing.

It found that 83 percent overall favored keeping the FCC rules, including 75 percent of Republicans, 89 percent of Democrats and 86 percent of independents.

Uhm, no. Exactly the opposite. The two main Internet providers in my area either have outright monthly caps on data downloads or hidden caps they don't advertise.

Cableone will automatically upgrade your account to the next higher plan if you go over 3 times in a 12 month period.

Centurylink (who I currently have) claims they have no caps but they actually do and will notify you if you go over. I haven't checked lately but when I went over several times, I received a nasty piece of mail and had to upgrade to an uncapped business plan for $100 a month.
