17.99 +
08.99 +
14.99 +
12.99

54.96

I have read some compelling reasons for keeping it - this is not one of them. Not sure if this pro or anti anyway.

Yep - you got that right but you left off two numbers: 8.99 each for Netflix and Facebook.

The chart is meant to be read as having additional fees so with those fees added in the total becomes 72.94.

This reminds me..I need to cancel our netflix and our HBONOW..

NetFlix is like 12.00  or something like that now..Almost as much as HBONOW..

They both are so slow at adding new things..HULU is better since you can get new shows every day.

 

Hulu is limited in some ways as well .... Netflix will only add shows to their streaming lineup by the season, their major downfall. For some shows Hulu will only carry a set number of episodes for a set amount of time and at one point some of the shows they carried had episodes missing from different seasons whereas those seasons were intact on other services.

Don't get me started on Amazon's video service ....

I'm still mad at them for messing up The Ranch..That was such a great show..

monetary costs are the least important reason for keeping net nutrality.

mainstream media has a lock on the propagation of leftist propaganda, i'd hate to see freedom of speach eliminated on the internet as well

 

So, just checking - you're saying that the government should regulate the decisions private telecommunications businesses make as far as what services they carry and what fees they charge?

Oh my.  I'm a political conservative, and I think net neutrality is a Good Thing.  (So now, I can get bashed by BOTH sides!)  I was dismayed by the FCC's decision to repeal net neutrality.

The OP is about six months too late with this post.  It will now take action by Congress to reinstate some form of net neutrality.  Write to your senators and representatives.

Says who? Who's going to make them?

no one can make them, its a private company, but if i'm gonna pay for nothing but infomercials and directed content, I might just say thanks but no thanks.

someone was whining that having to pay an extra 10 bucks a month was an important reason to keep net neutrality. I said it's not the cost, its the ability to surf the entire web, and not just what your provider decides what u can see.

So yes, i'll pay x number of dollars a month for a completely unfettered, unrestricted internet, i doubt I'd pay much to only access sites my provider decided to let me see.

I doubt there is any purpose to your post  except to try and catch me in a moral inconsistency.

So, having said that, I'm done, try again sometime.

We will have fun seeing the ends of this...

college kids who's daddy tells them there won't be an extra rate for YT payed, angry wifes yelling at the extra cost for adult content, and no, it will not be ten bucks more for the rest of the internet. That is not to debate... they will charge you 5 bucks for each extra service you want to access - and they will just block any providers of proxies that would ruin their business model - there is nothing to stop them doing that shady thing... as they cannot be forced to accept your idea of a fair deal. If you are unhappy start your own ISP... enjoy!

I do hope those replying know that OP only posts on the forums (and usually nonsensical jibberish, of the worst kind) when he/she/it needs to drum up business(in sl and rl), with the hope(s) that someone will click on one of the various links he/she/it posts, lmao. Kinda been a pattern for at least a couple of years now :)

Based on that chart, I'd save 13 bucks a month. I'm all for it.

If not paying 12.99 a month for social media,will remove social media from my intranets.  Where do I not go to not give my 12.99 a month!? \o/

I can see my future now..

"Oh ,sorry I didn't pay my 12.99 this month ,so I can't use your resource link" :D

Where do I not go to not pay for adds disguised as news? I don't see a column up there for that..If they had that,it  would be hard to not be all for it.. hehehehe

Hello,

If you're unawareness of the potential impact repealing #NetNeutralityNet_Emoji_v3.png will bring. Then view the image to get a better understanding.

This is a good little book to start your path of realization of why uravnilovka -- "levelling," as the Soviets called it in the Soviet system, does not work.

You don't have to be a "right winger" to oppose socialist net neutrality -- I vote Democrat and have no use for Trump.

The OP's scary image is underselling the issue quite dramatically.

It wont be $12 a month for video. It will be $12 a month for netflix & hulu, another $10 for youtube ... and so on. Visit a site not covered .. and you just automatically triggered the corresponding site fee. With data caps and heavy use fees on everything of course.

Thinking you will save money by not paying for the social media package as you don't facebook wont work when half the websites you do use embed facebook code which then triggers the package being included anyway.

Don't think SL is a game .. the UDP will classify it as one .. and your ISP wont care about your protests.

 

But then Americans seem to like being robbed blind for mobile data ... (seriously .. data prices here are like gas prices in Europe). The typical net packages they have in portugal (that lacks net neutrality) are carved up site by site with top site bundles, but the actual data costs are so low that even if you buy all the packages its still significantly less than I pay poopcast every month. In general UK internet costs are 50% what the US pays and there a lot of very cheap, almost free options for people with limited needs.

Mainly because in Europe, there is this magical thing called common infrastructure upon which companies compete for your business. You can choose any ISP over the existing wires to your home.

Here my choice is poopcast or slow poopcast or stealing my neighbors poopcast ..
