They already could do that. They just weren't allowed to block it or throttle it. Now they can if they want to, so long as they put it in the terms of service.If an ISP wants to offer free Netflix for 6 months as a promotional device, they are now free to do so.

Like you're about to be paying moreI've been paying extra for faster internet for several years now. How should I feel?
And there is a possibility that eventually some of the sites and services you access will get slowerLike you're about to be paying more
More a certaintyAnd there is a possibility that eventually some of the sites and services you access will get slower
I can't really say with 100% certainty it will happen to everyone due to differences in ISPs and internet usage behaviors.More a certainty
I've got a feeling ISP's will get real greedy real quick. Hopefully not thoI can't really say with 100% certainty it will happen to everyone due to differences in ISPs and internet usage behaviors.
There is no free market when it comes to internet service in America. ISPs basically have a legislated oligarchy set up where there are at most 2 viable choices (that collude with one another to prevent any competition) in most areas of America, and the cost-of-entry into the market is so unbelievably high (intentionally) to prevent any startup from challenging Comcast/ATT.Pretty sure the free market will work this out. It has with mobile service and it's actually better without regulation in the free market. Unlimited data, hot spots, etc. Why would anyone want the government, which screws everything up, involved in this?

Here's your free market without net neutrality when you have no alternatives for service.Bingo. Most younger folks have no idea how a free market works (they are taught that the government is the answer to any problem) and the news has been screaming about how this will destroy the internet. In the end the free market works and the companies will find ways to get their customers what they want. Don't believe everything CNN or Mark Zuckerberg says (which is incredibly hypocritical as he/Facebook has literally hidden certain political posts while pushing others to be seen).

This is not a hypothetical or propaganda image, this is what Portugal has right now.
Are the same people claiming the end of the internet as we know it....for the last 2.5 years, the same that said if Trump was elected the stock market would crash? Something tells me everything will be fine.Oh hey look...Obama's fault.
True broadband should be treated as a public utility.
It should also be approached in the same manner as rural electrification. Run fiber everywhere.
Those are all content providers. They are not service providers, ISPs, that the content comes thru. That content still has to come thru an ISP.Here's your free market without net neutrality when you have no alternatives for service.

I live in a small town and have at&T, the cable internet option as well as a local municipal option. I've asked both the cable company and the municipal provider and they anticipate NO changes.

Then you obviously haven't been paying attention. Also like how some are saying phones got better without regulation. Uh back when that happened you were still using a house phone only, so it's not like it was going to get drastically worse, unlike the internet where they can nickle and dime you per website you want to useI'm not doubting that the worst-case scenario would be a bad one. I'm just skeptical that is what will actually happen.
Net neutrality was in place long before that, since the beginning of the internet actually, Obama just had to put it under title II and title I to stop people from slowing internet speeds. The SC told him to put it under title II and there's nothing they can do. FCC repealed it and now you'll be stuck with shitty internet. Don't speak on things you don't know about. Also funny how you trust your ISP 100% Bc ya know if the product was going to get worse or more expensive they'd surely tell you up front right? Uhhh noThe predicted doom from this is absurd.
The savior of the world, Net Neutrality, has only been around for about 2.5 years. Absolutely NOTHING has changed with my internet since it went into place. In the typical nanny state fashion folks are now saying "but if we hadn't put this in place the world would have ended".
I'm going to laugh at all of you when nothing changes in the next year.

The fact is this. If this was SOOOO important then the Obama administration should have passed this through contract instead of putting an easily reversible regulation in place.
The difference here is say you got taxed 50% after college, but you got free college. Ok I can deal with that I pay into a system that gets our youth good education and betters the nation as a whole. Paying an extra dollar for Netflix is just me paying more with 0 benefits to me.
