It should be. It should be discussed as part of the republicans Misery Agenda. It directly hurts all consumers.

(6,324 posts)If so, then yes for sure.
If no, then probably still a minor one, but more from the point of cons mocking people by saying things like Does your internet still work? Do you pay separate charges for email and social media? Is your ISP censoring your internet? No? But they went all over saying it would happen- dont believe them on anything else either.

Are they rolled back to 1996?
Are they rolled back to 2010?
There will probably be legal cases....
Will there be targeted throttling of bit torrents?
Will there be targeted throttling of pornhub?
Bit torrents and sites like pornhub are the most likely to experience throttling. I personally don't use them.
My kids have used bit torrents in the past.
However, their use of bit torrents has been to get something for nothing. (Games, games, games, movies, movies etc)
