KrK posted : The Anti-Net neutrality ads are such BS. If there was truth in advertising, the ad would have to say "if Net Neutrality is blocked/banned/prevented, you will pay 5X as much to us!!! Mu-ha-hah-hah-ha!" (Evil laugh)

Because that's what it's really all about. The right to rape, pillage, and steal at will.

Double-dip? Hell, we're talking triple-dip,quad-dipping or worse!

Meanwhile cable has little to fear form the telcos. At least in Verizon's case, they're raising prices like crazy. Since FiOS got deployed in my area, they're raised HSI rates 3 times and it's now more expensive than comparable service from the cable operator. And while video programming charges are a bit less, they've taken such large increases in hardware fees that any price benefit has vanished. Then there is POTS where cable is sucking off subs right and left.
