Back in 2016 the mega hell-corp spectrum was birthed from the hairy rear end of capitalism. As part of its conditions for existence, it agreed to the following:code:Well, spectrum decided that waiting all that time to implement data caps and even more arbitrary fees just isn't fair. It's not American and they have ants in their pants. So they're asking the FCC to let them go ahead and start data capping etc. in May of 2021. They want to get the FCC to agree with their request before a competent administration might be in office and the head of the FCC might be someone other than a huge piece of poo poo. Here's the official filing: https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/0622272439013/DA-20-652A1.pdf If you were around for the Obama-era net neutrality debate, you may have filed a public comment with the FCC. You and five hundred million russian bots, I mean. Well here's your chance to relive the glory. If you care about this, write to the FCC here: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express The form will ask you for a proceeding number. It's: 16-197 Also you probably need to fill out the form on desktop. If your phone doesn't give you an explicit "enter"/"return" button on your soft keyboard, you won't be able to enter your name and the form won't let you submit.

Glad I just signed up for a fiber network that is supposed to go live in September. Spectrum is the only good internet in our neighborhood. Otherwise, it's CenturyLink and you might as well be on dialup.

Wouldn’t it be loving weird if adult bookstores and video arcades and peep shows came back because of this? That would be like people going back to riding horses because of a 1,000,000% tax on gasoline.

It's cool how Ajit Pai's dumbass decisions have horribly hurt our telecommunications infrastructure in the nearly 4 years since he's been FCC commissioner. Lmao.

The government is fine with it so long as the surviving monolithic entities agree to share all of the information they are collecting with the government with as little transparency as possible. Don’t worry tho, it’s only “bad guys” who have to worry about this kind of overreach and I’m sure the “marketplace” will allow you to pick which of thee entities you want to give all of your information too. I mean, hell, if you really valued your privacy, why would you even live in society.

No no OP it's fine the FCC has learned that as long as they do poo poo like this slowly and by steps the public is largely ok with it because we're idiot frogs perpetually boiling alive.

I’m not going to defend Spectrum here as they are a company run by some of the very worst and most evil people in all of American business. I’ve had personal dealings with old man Rutledge and can’t think of a single nice thing to say besides he’s delivered for the shareholders. Having said that the one thing I will say is that ‘usage based pricing’ is coming into vogue as a mechanism to get internet access out to a lot of underserved groups. I’ve been part of several proposals (at a competing company but part of a coalition of providers) that are between $10 and $20 a month for limited data plans, that are geared towards a stopgap solution for the digital divide. Several companies are converging around this as a way to help solve a problem but not force acceleration of the plan of record while it’s still difficult to have people in the field or head end. If I were the fcc I’d be inclined to grant Charter their wish but require an agreement that they could no longer lobby directly or indirectly against Municipal Broadband

A far better alternative is expanding cheap or free broadband access to low-income communities that is not restricted in any way.

It’s funny how time warner cable changed the name of their company to spectrum to avoid a public kidnapping charge and now they can’t even figure out how to use their own coax so they’re paying electric on phone line isdn and buying up conduit shares and digging up sections of roads to install that poo poo next to sewer lines. I bet they go broke in 2 years anyways.
