re: #18 A Mom Anon

This is just a general question to the room. How does this mean profits for ISPs? If only rich people, or at least well off people, can afford internet access, then how is that expanding their market? Most of America, contrary to what the assholes in Congress and this Administration think, has to live on a budget of some kind. If internet access becomes cumbersome, slow and limited, people aren’t going to want to buy it. We’ve become dependent on the internet for so much, but if most people can only afford the cheapest package offered, how the hell does that make money? I really don’t get it.

It’s not about charging you more for your internet; it’s about charging Netflix to stream their shows quicker than anybody else’s content. You get tired of the buffering and pauses on some other service; but your roommate loves a couple of Hulu and Amazon shows, and your kid loves YouTube, so your house now has 3 ISPs.
