Stupidly got Plusnet in the UK, wish I had got EA as it can't be any worse.
RunningDeer
You can choose not buy EA games and if an ISP throttled its customers competition would weed them out. Less gov't is the best kind of gov't.

Funny but fact is there is no competition in most of the USA, you can spout your free market capitalism shit all you want, history
shows it doesn't work that way. Monopolies form and workers rights are trampled without intervention
Tezunegari
Unless the ISP has a monopoly in your region... and actively prevents you from changing this.

Sounds like big internet propaganda

Less government is why it can be throttled in first place.
I know, that's why I want the gov't out of the internet business instead of more involved.
TheMadOnion
You want to protect people from throttling, by taking away protections from throttling? Okay got you.
Yeah I've read this article before. I have to say I don't agree with it at all and I don't think what they're saying is true at all.
The problem is there's no God damn competition. the vast majority of the country has one choice 1. All sorts of consumer protection laws.
Exist already so I really don't see much of a difference in this law.

It's not the gov'ts job to regulate how many companies are in a market or what services they provide. Let the market take care if itself.

Remember how less government made conditions in factories in most other countries acceptable? I don't.
I apologize, I mispoke. Less gov't intervention in what products/services companies can/should provide but gov'ts should be allowed to 1/2
step in to help regulate the safety of workers. 2/2
The government should be able to regulate whatever they deem fit. It literally exist for that reason, to govern.
