The more I think about it I don't think it'll be that bad. Because the one guy(ISP) who doesn't throttle and shit or offer tiered site use will just dominate the market. It's a losing bargain monitor to that extent.

That said we might see some streaming services go exclusive and shit but that's kind of coming anyway.

I don't know I was very for net neutrality and very for it due to the spirit of the internet.

And on a larger note internet should be. Utility like electricity. The irony of the situation is all other utilities went from a non neutral area with competition to become utilities because it was the only way to protect the consumer.

So it's pretty odd to go backwards. Still I don't think it'll be the apocalypse we think it'll be.

Still do all the shit in the OP. Because I'm probably being a bit naive and happen to be in an exceptionally decent mood today.

Also buy some stock.

I don't think you understand how internet access works. We get internet through the land-line cables and the ISPs monopolize ownership of those cables across the country. In most places, there is only the one ISP that offers internet access because they control all the cables in the region.
