All you've done is deflect and use fear mongering through this whole thread. And now you are posting cartoons meant to entertain 10 year olds.. is this your level of thinking?
Are you being serious urbanlife? You really do not understand this? For fcks sake it is not complicated. There is x amount of bandwidth available at a given time, how you split it effects how fast each get their data.
And how much bandwidth is available? You know bandwidth isn't oil, right? Though I think it is funny that you think this is all about providing the equal amount of bandwidth to everyone at the same time. We are not all watching movies at the same time in this country, this is about preventing internet providers from being able to regulate which sites they provide high speed access to.

False, unlike you, I understand the importance of these rules rather than succumbing to the power of Comcast.

Bandwith availability is different based upon region and if you're on cable, dsl, or satellite. one should know this if they are going to pretend to be able to discuss the need to regulate it.
Most indeed DO WATCH movies at the same time.. it tends to be Friday, Saturday evenings etc.. While downtime is early mornings and during the work day.

You've done nothing but post wrong information through this whole thread, and we're supposed to believe you understand rules governing this wrong information?
NOT
But hey, you do know how to say "Comcast" a lot.. must be on your daily enemy talking point list.
In my opinion, this is good for users of the internet. The last thing we want is the ISP's offering a cable-like bundle of channels (websites). On the other hand, this is not very good for tax payers. Most certainly the government will see this utility service as an untapped revenue source. I know for certain democrats want to add a tax onto peoples cell phone bills to pay for some sort of education initiative (I did polling on it).
Here are three charts that show that the FCC is full of malarkey:
Over the period covered, the variety and speed of Internet connections has increased significantly, not an outcome one would expect if monopoly or controlled market conditions were in place
Over 80% of households have at least two providers who offer at least 10 mbps downstream. 96% of households have at least two providers offering at least 6 Mbps downstream.
And finally, as a general measure of the health of the Internet in the U.S., we rank very near the top in data transferred per user, and way above the average.
As with most fed.gov regulation, I am afraid this will be twisted to the advantage of the large companies, and will create problems that did not exist.

More evidence you dont have a clue
And you want to let your internet provider limit this and control which sites you can watch your movies on.

So how much does Comcast pay you to be against something that is bad for them?

Irrelevant. Has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Also irrelevant and has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

That must be why the large service providers fought it so hard. They're out to hurt themselves.
