   Without net neutrality, your cable company (that is also your internet provider) might decide that too many people aren't buying cable TV channels because of Netflix. They could get some of that revenue back by throttling Netflix unless you buy their most expensive internet plan. If they bundle phone service, they might throttle competing voice over internet providers unless you buy their most expensive internet plan. The list goes on and on.

     @bitgeist Unfortunately, Spectrum took the net neutral decision that residential customers don't need ANY IPv6 unless they go business class

     @lnxw48a1 Yep.  I'm seriously pondering setting up a UUCP link with S D F dot ORG for the future.  What a stupid time to be alive.

     @bobjonkman I'm at the point of holding out for a Fidonet revival.  I hang out at the Gopher Renaissance Faire too much, as you can imagine.
