Yeah, this is not the one to go all crazy about; it is not what laypersons think it is.

The greatest threat to the internet isn't the ISPs which have to remain competitive, it IS the monopolistic content providers working in collusion for their fascist-liberal corporate masters; Google, YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, etc.

I've heard all kinds of whining from customers unwilling to pay ordinary rate hikes from Comcast and AT&T, and this repeal has absolutely no effect on that, and the previous rules did nothing to stop the rate hikes.

Uninformed whining; had my share of it. The FTC will now be in charge (as it should be) to regulate the internet; not the impotent FCC.

Interstate and State and Federal Trade Laws are already in place and are very consumer-friendly in our country.

The internet is working just as it did in 2015.



TL; DR "Don't Worry, Be Happy"
