Here's a good non-tldr link- I think your best bet is to go there for a few minutes. I don't agree with everything the eff does, but they are right on this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/11/lump-coal-internets-st...

That article doesn't help anything. That is still a pure FUD based article. It offers no info and just speculates that without regulation, ISPs will just charge you more and have "fast lanes" and packaged plans.... I'm so sick of that argument. We've never seen anything like that in America before NN. Its a pure strawman argument.

I think you are just trolling but for others reading this here's a list of bad things that were net neutrality violations: https://www.freepress.net/blog/2017/04/25/net-neutrality-vio...

There's also lots of examples from other countries that don't have net neutrality like Mexico https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/6x6izw/guys_m%C... (certain websites are not available on the lower tiered plans)

I am not trolling and yes I've already read those articles. That is exactly what I am complaining about. There is no evidence that these strawman arguments will come to pass. And even though "bad" things happened without NN, they were ultimately resolved (without NN)

You are totally trolling. Yeah, nobody can guarantee that these things won’t happen. But they’ll be enabled. It will increase profits. So it will likely happen.

But you know that.
