It may not have ended up in the nightmare scenario but I still pay Comcast more money for less service now. If I want unlimited data I have to shell out $50 extra a month.
Also this is a symptom of a bigger problem.
You want the FCC to focus on problems which you feel are more serious. That's fine. I agree. The FCC should do something. Anything. The problem is the FCC is weak as hell and not willing to take meaningful action on basically anything at this point.
