The internet was just fine before the government got involved, and it will continue to be fine once the government is no longer involved. F the Dems!

My personal example. I had a Earthlink account which uses Time Warner cable lines. I was at about 30mb then it went up from there with no increase in price to about 50mb when I cancelled my cable tv as that bill was way to high back in March 2016.

I was told as I had a Earthlink account that they would have to be called to cancel the tv part. I did so and was told that they would give me a discount for 6 months at $29 for internet only and they would have to lower the speed to 25mb. I said fine as I knew Netflix and any website only needs a fraction of that speed.

The speed never went down and is currently at 70mb and will climb. Why? ATT came along with high speed fiber lines. They go right by my building and are next to the cable company lines.

Time Warner(now Spectrum)/Earthlink have to compete so I get better service.

That is the key. Competition!
