- ocdtrekkie 6y agoWhich, of course, could be a reason to switch to a different provider. :) As someone who has things like a car PC to which I can't afford an Internet connection because all of the service is priced to include people streaming YouTube and Spotify all day... I find net neutrality an appalling concept. It's essentially a way to force ISPs to serve Google and Netflix's needs exclusively. (They are the majority of all US network traffic, and their bandwidth use as they expand to 4K video is basically drowning out everything else.) Why shouldn't I be able to get a cheap $5-10 Internet service where I have to pay extra if I want to watch Netflix? Most of my Internet devices aren't used for Netflix, but I'd love to be able to afford plans for them.
