Its like the fast pass at Disney. The ride is the same speed. The number of people per hour is the same. Its just that some people don’t wait in line.

It is exactly like that - should Disney be prohibited from selling fast passes?

This is not about Comcast’s freedom to sell any service. Its about their right to decide how you get to see the internet.

See it through their equipment. Don't like it? Fire them - I did.

At the state level they fight to make sure there is no access to the home internet except through them.

Then combat that - don't use it as an excuse for more government interference in the market.

Similarly, should the airlines be banned from offering first class service and priority boarding to those willing to pay for it?

I do not use Comcast. But I have to use someone. So I use AT&T. They are not better, just different. I wish I had choices. But I have two choices for the internet. And I don’t get cable, nor do I want it.

Comcast is run by democrats. This is not the Obama FCC taking on republicans. In this case, they are taking on the Roberts family who do not support republicans.

Disney has the right to fast passes because its their ride and park. Comcast is selling access to the internet. They don’t own the internet. They are providing a connection service. And they themselves are a huge user of the internet. They have xfinity, which is in the Internet pipe. If they can slow things down and speed them up. It will be Comcasts Xfinity which will be the fastest of them all.
