you will pay through increased ISP subscription costs. however, its still highly likely that this just causes ISPs to abandon new infrastructure improvements at their edges. either way its a terrible day for the internet.

that or they go to pay per use which would make me lol super hard cause the big net neutrality proponents also torrent 24/7

the only difference this is going to make in the short term is when isps and mobile carriers do their annual 'jack up rates because gently caress you' they'll be able to cry about Obama rather than making up some other excuse


in the medium term you can at least sue them for doing that

they are specifically not going to regulate rates ISPs can charge so no u cant

[FCC Commissioner] Pai claimed that an Internet provider could "find itself in the FCC's crosshairs" if it doesn't want to offer unlimited data plans. The FCC's order does not actually ban data caps; instead, the FCC is claiming authority to intervene when companies use data caps to harm competitors or customers.

for real crabnob you are dumb as gently caress

anyone who actually thinks ISPs haven't been doing anything is really dumb. ISPs spend billions of dollars every year which is why municipal broadband is going to be really hilarious. u think ppl are gonna pay more in property taxes in a few years when they try to keep up with private companies in capex spending? lol

municipal internet will be stuck in the past and then u will realize just how much comcast, verizon, etc actually do invest

or if fios was unbundled then you can just get another ISP using the same fios line with less congestion on the backend

this is a good way to ensure that no ISP ever invests in fiber
