    So you're playing devil's advocate without knowing both sides of the issue?

    Sounds awesome. If you lead the charge to make this happen, I'll gladly pay you half of what I would no longer have to pay my ISP. Go for it, dude.

    I can get 200Mbps that's actually 50Mbps most of the time for only $75!

    I'm playing devil's advocate without claiming to be an expert in both sides of the issue. I did provide one argument at the beginning of the thread, and that was just off the top of my head.

    I'm sorry that's not good enough for you.

    Well you're just wasting the time of people who (a) want to actually hear both sides of the debate in an educated manner and (b) people who have actually done fucking research! Off the top of your head... jesus fuck is making shit up because it sounds reasonable after five seconds of thought what passes for actual debate around here?

    (I know the answer is yes, don't worry)

    Seriously, if you're going to pick a side and debate on its behalf, learn the game THEN post!

    Wow, this post really sounds like an elitist. I apologize for not preparing myself properly for discussion with you. I will attempt to be better girded for future threads, sir.

    I'll put it another way.

    What's the best case scenario for removing NN?

    I can't understand a mind that thinks that knowing things about what you're debating is elitist, that asking your fellows to know what the fuck they're talking about before talking about it is elitist. If some rube thought lower PER numbers were better and said "I think Caleb and Zach should start because they're the best at PER!" would you be more likely to forgive them if they said "in my defense I didn't research PER at all lol"?

    LEARN THE GAME THEN POST is the law.

    Apparently marzy wants the MSM to control what he is allowed to access on the internet. Seems like he might have been sold a rotten avacado.

    But hey, suck it libtard cucks!

    All this talk of throttling and price gouging is true, but the real fear is that the internet turns into a complete propaganda machine for whomever owns it.

    Whats to stop george soros/ koch bros/ other boogymen from buying comcast and simply stop allowing access to viewpoints they dont like? Do we really want the internet to become sinclair media, or worse?

    Come the fuck on.

    I have indeed! But not on the internet.

    Did you know I once held the patent on the use of remote computer addressing like xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx.xxxx...
    But alas it expired just before the internet blew up.
