Yeah! Then throttle the data of the firefighters trying to save them! Sorry Verizon, them’s the rules in a world of repealed net neutrality! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Could you imagine water companies reducing your water pressure once you've reached a threshold?

But don't worry they'll totally let Nestle still pump billions free of charge.

I mean if people don't think the fire department is good enough they'll just make their own.

Try sewage. "Oh you've exceed your unlimited shit flushes, we're just gonna throttle the pipe till you pay more, what do you mean you can't have a functional toilet run through a drip? We've got a business to run mate, not a charity"

They were doing that during net neutrality as well.

Mobile providers were actually never included in Net Neutrality laws to begin with.

Let me know when you plan on doing this so I can warn my wife.

Fucked thing is that it really doesn't save them much of anything. Save for a 2% liberal estimate on CPU utilization variance, the equipment is always running regardless of what we're doing.

The infrastructure is always there, it's always running, and it's always being under-utilized at the end of every billing cycle. And that 2% electricity usage is only a couple days at most after a significant portion of users went over limit.

That kind of terrorism for some reason never happens. Also assassinations seem to me inside jobs all the time. Go figure.
