“we’re not doing illegal, and no you can’t check.”
-People doing illegal things
you’re OK with having all your messages read by the government?

I take issue only with “- People doing illegal things” because that argument has been used over and over to rape our privacy to death. Think “If you’ve done nothing wrong you’ve got nothing to hide” mindset.
I don’t have a problem with “- Monopoly doing illegal things”. Monopoly is not a person.

We already know they do that. If they can’t directly for any legal reason that they don’t want to admit violating, they’ll just have one of our allies do it for them via their foreign intelligence sevices. Snowden gave us the proof of that a decade ago.
Neither private companies nor the government should be collecting data from/about citizens without probable cause and due process.
That could all be codified into the regulations that classify internet as a public infrastructure service.
How is this different than another time?
You do realize they have a law that requires the phone companies to run a phone line no matter where you build in the USA right? Requiring the ISPs to uphold stipulations like this is a good thing.
Also, NSA…
How to tell you are running a cartel, step #1:
The cartel says the CIA shouldnt investigate cocaine prices.
Cocaine prices have made little to no change even though recessions, my friend tells me.
Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven’t changed since the 1990s… just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.
Make internet access a utility and be done with it.
Seriously. Why is this taking so long!? It’s painfully obvious!
Because the ISPs don’t want to have to do what we made them do for phone lines. Even though the trillion dollars we have given them over the last 30 years should have come with that stipulation…but they took that money and bought our politicians with it.
In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.
Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?
I pay $500, lol

Sorry, it’s so hard to believe, you have to explain how.

I live very rural and my only other option was 500kbps on a good day internet which doesn’t work for my software engineering job. So I ended up having to make tons of calls and beg and plead and I finally found a fiber provider who would trench a line directly to my house for me.
Problem is…I’m paying for it for 10 years now.
But it was worth it.
I pay 99.95 a month for 50 megs gotta love the local phone cmpny
That’s Romania. But I live in the US now.
I pay 40€ a month for 250 MBit in Germany :(
Pretty sure my parents pay even more for 50 MBit. Live in Germany too.
50€ for 1000/1000 here. My employer covers it.
46€ for the same here.
30€ if I can do with 1000/100 instead, which most people could.
I pay $110 for 2000/2000 fiber. In the US.
I pay Comcast $130 for 1000/35
Just Internet, no bundles.
you can get the same internet speed for like 10$ in Ukraine. of 4$ for symmetrical 100mbps fiber connection
My three year old often says “Dad don’t look!” When he does that, I know for a fact he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing.
The title alone is a great reason to investigate broadband prices.
Criminal doesn’t want to be investigated.
If any business tells the government that it should not look to closely into it’s practices, then you know that there is something that needs to be brought to the light and corrected.
It’s like a teenager telling their mom she doesn’t need to check the browser history
I agree, the FCC shouldn’t waste time investigating broadband prices. Just nationalize them. And the rest of infrastructure.
“We promise not to eat any more faces,” said a spokeswolf for the Wolves Eating Faces Corporation.
Pay no attention to the piles of money behind the curtain!
Don’t try that Jedi shit on me it doesn’t work.
Oh god the wipe transitions. I remember when the original trilogy was being remade into… I think the Gold version? I watched bts stuff and George was explaining how they’d added wipes to the scene transitions. Like, cool new CGI and all, but maybe adding wipes over the entire thing is kind of taking the piss.

What about bathrooms, are those still safe?
If he’s a white cisgender conservative male? Probably not.
Shh, you’re gonna upset the white cisgender conservative males…
I’ve been a big fan of my internet provider for not playing these games, until this year. Them: “ you owe more every month”, me: “you’re raising prices?”, them: “no, prices remain the same and you can continue on your existing plan, but you need to pay more”
