We've already had millions die over this, when will the carnage end?

Doesn't Musk seem kinda like a super villain. He dangles this idea of cheap internet one day, but before that he's selling flamethrowers.

I think net neutrality should be looked at in similar fashion to how phone service was managed. As more options have been made available has service gone up or down, more available or less?

Monday, June 11, is the first day of the post–net neutrality internet. In December, the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal the Obama-era rules that prohibit internet companies from slowing down or speeding up access to certain websites, but it took about six months for the repeal to get a signoff from the Office of Management and Budget and for the new rules to be published in the federal register. Beginning, well, now, your internet access could—emphasis on could—feel dramatically different than it did yesterday.
Under the new network neutrality rules, internet service providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T are allowed to throttle traffic that travels over their network or even block access to entire websites as long as the companies alert subscribers in their terms of service that they reserve the right to do so. But since most people in the United States don’t have more than one or two internet providers to choose from for broadband service, if users don’t wish to accept those terms, many won’t have anywhere else to go for their internet. Without net neutrality rules stopping them, internet providers will also be able to charge websites a fee to reach users faster.
Those internet providers stand to win the most from the net neutrality repeal, since they’ll be able to operate what is essentially a two-way toll, collecting money from both subscribers and websites that want priority access to users. Already-powerful, deep-pocketed companies that can afford to pay for the fast-lane service like Facebook or Yelp could wind up in a position to set the price, relegating smaller companies, nonprofits, or struggling news organizations to what is, in effect, a slower internet. -snip
Don't worry, I'm sure telecom giants like Comcast and AT&T will do the right thing. Thanks Trumpers.
Already notice the change in net neutrality. AT&T didn't waste any time at all for their mobile data plans. They now have packages which give you access to HD streaming. You must subscribe to the higher costing plan to get the HD streaming unlocked on common services such as Hulu, YouTube, and Netflix.
"Nothing will change, it's not that bad."
Bullshit. It's 2018.
As I've posted before on this topic, there is not a bandwidth issue at all. The lie that "Netflix hogs all the bandwidth" is not true unless you're in a hotel with a shitty internet service.

Approach this optimistically. At least now you all finally have an excuse to get off the internet and stop rotting inside your less-than-glamorous living quarters .

I use AT&T for my cell phone and Comcast for my internet service; I have no doubt I'll be paying the same (or more) for less very soon. Which was the concern from the start of all this, not the the world would end or whatever other red herrings the Trumpers tried to deflect and mitigate away with. They really are 'useful idiots'.
You do know I was legitimately butthurt and angry, right? I don't get angry very often. Extremely rarely. Maybe once a year. But when I went to change my plan because I do not need tethering service anymore (I don't travel for work anymore), it then gave me these "HD" options.
And some are packaged with HBO.
This is EXACTLY what all of us were whining about. "Pay more to unlock HD service." Like... holy shit, this is so extremely specifically the point we were making that it cannot get any more clear. This is EXACTLY what we said would happen. This specific example I am listing is the exact damn shit we said would happen.
