no... its just the companies cannot throttle your speeds anymore and they are forced to make faster speeds for everyone.... no more bullshyt
Ya'll need to explain what that shyt is.
Reroutes your internet traffic through a different IP address keeping the shyt you do online anonymous to your ISP.

ISPs were basically trying to charge you extra to use services such as Netflix or Hulu. So you would have to pay an additional $10 to your ISP to use your Netflix account(which you already paid for). I'll wait to celebrate until we learn more info. These companies are evil so I'm sure there is going to be some loopholes that allow them to screw people over.
wow they wanted to charge us extra to use a service we are already paying for
everything and anything is about money in america

On the flip side of that it forces competition and Google fiber could make inroads into NYC and other places even if they gotta sue them this is gonna change the game.
No. The ISP cannot charge you extra for access to Netflix specifically.
On a second note, I wonder what this does in terms of wiretapping now that internet is a telecommunications utility.
They were basically trying to take the old xbox live approach to the entire internet.wow they wanted to charge us extra to use a service we are already paying for
LOL @ all the fools who payed for xbox live just to watch netflix and hulu
You Win Perfect
bow down
no they were trying to charge services like NetFlix for bandwidth usage, Since a lot of the traffic comes from their streaming services. They weren't trying to charge the end user money it was the companies they were basically extorting. "if you want your members to stream in HD smoothly then you have to pay us "
as a result then eventually those service would have to raise their membership prices, yes.

Not for nothing, net neutrality isn't good all the time. If done correctly, people paying extra for a "fast lane" type internet benefits everyone. We talked about it in one of my operations classes. I gotta re-read the specifics but the shyt had me like
