Assuming they have that option. If you have 3+ choices offering broadband internet, you are the lucky exception that proves the rule. https://arstechnica.com/information-tec ... er-speeds/

Let's assume Comcast isn't blowing smoke up your ass and actually follows net neutrality practices in their business model. Do you think people are going to jump ship en masse and switch providers to Comcast because they're "doing the right thing" by not being total sleazebags? The bar has been lowered so fucking much... Like I've already said, they may not have Comcast service where they live. Let's not forget that investors will flip their shit when they learn that Comcast left money on the table.
I do believe I just cherry picked your entire post.

You're fucked, my friend
Verizon? Naw that shits all slowly being sold to Frontier. and at that.
also at gramps. so cute. You're that guy that calls your ISP and bitches with literally no clue what you are talking about. But dag nabit ur computers fine!
shouldnt lifting regulations lead to neutrality? like blockchain technology is decentralizing?
if corporations have control and not the government, isnt that decentralized in a capitalist world?
so we have 2 problems that are named the same and both sides fighting for neutrality.
but dont you think its just a little strange that one side is being pushed on the net with tremendous force, just like they are doing it with anti trump stuff... and the same news outlets and media people? and the organisation leading the battle a soros funded group? the same soros that funds antifa, blm, fake antitrump protests,clintons and so many other fucking wicked things?
hear what this guy has to say for yourself

what... the actual fuck...
i have no idea what point you're trying to make here my dude
Anyone that thinks something good will come if this passes has their head buried in the sand. Honestly, it's already bad enough as it is. Hearing telco's cry because they aren't making enough money makes my blood boil given how much taxpayer money goes into funding the infrastructure telco's use. Yeah I'm sorry your billions of dollars isn't enough for you.
a great firewall of western world is already developing. Facebook, Google, Twitter.. they all admitted before congress just recently to secretly censoring content. now to legitimize these actions they have put in place an ad hoc fact checker who is incidentally again a soros group.. they call this neutrality and they want it to stay this way.

Surprise surprise! Comcast is already backpedaling on those promises:
But with Republican Ajit Pai now in charge at the Federal Communications Commission, Comcast's stance has changed. While the company still says it won't block or throttle Internet content, it has dropped its promise about not instituting paid prioritization.

I believe the market will find a balance. People will obviously make choices based on availability and they will ALWAYS choose the provider with the least net restrictions. Repealing net neutrality might also spawn upstarts who's sole purpose is to undercut the big guys with their hands in your pockets. I never said I believed Comcast. I also said repealing net neutrality is not something I agree with. But you fuck sticks have to be upset about something, so you cherry/nit pick my comments and make asinine assumptions to argue a like opinion.
I addressed every part of your post, I didn't cherry pick shit. But like usual, you get this super-defensive tunnel vision and latch onto a notion that everyone's out to get you, instead of realizing you just keep spouting the most ignorant, half-baked ideas that beg to be picked apart.
How can the market find a balance if Comcast has their thumb on the scale? You might not have implicitly said you believe Comcast, but you were happy to imply it to support your argument.

When you pull a post apart and address it in pieces, you are cherry picking the discussion. My original comment as a whole didn't support net neutrality and suggested competition might battle it out by offering less net restrictions. Nothing really polarizing there...
Comcast doesn't own the internet. Comcast has competition in every market. Most people have more than one option for internet service and will always make choices based on what's best for them. Balance will be found in the customer's search/desire for more suitable services and the market's desire to retain/attain those customers. Simple law of supply and demand...
I'm not defensive at all. The reality is some people here are looking to argue anything I say. Even if they agree. I've obviously truly upset those people. They are so upset that they take my quotes and put them in their footers for years... Like that somehow doesn't shine a light on how upset they are.
Looks like you don't know what cherry picking is, Gwamps.
It took all of 1 minute to make that quote my sig, then I promptly forgot about it. The only time I remember is when you bring it up, which happens every month or so. No, it certainly hasn't gotten to you.

I upset you enough to put it there and keep it there, doofus. Figure that out.
