Re: Comcast I pay for Internet SERVICE. I don't own/lease the wire. I don't own/lease the network, and frankly I don't care what they do with their hardware or network as long as it doesn't interfere with my Internet SERVICE. The point your missing is who gets to define what the "Internet" is? Because if ISP get to block, throttle, or otherwise alter my connection on any level OTHER than a total slowdown or shutoff of my connection, then I'm not getting the same "Internet" as everyone else. When I order Internet Service from an ISP, I have the assumption that I'm getting the same Internet as everyone else at whatever speed and conditions I agree to with my ISP.
What the FCC is doing is actually helping to uphold the definition of the "Internet" so that when you purchase "Internet" service from an ISP, you know what you're getting. |
