Every rube upset about gay marriage and transgendered people in bathrooms, or with a misguided sense of why their boss hasn't given them a raise in five years brought this on themselves.  And the rest of us have to pay for it.

If there is one issue that can trigger the younger voters out there, it is this one. And this will have consequences on the Republicans come the next big elections, especially the President in 3 years. The 15, 16, 17 year olds, pretty much most of which use the net cant vote today. But when they hit 18, they wont forget this.

Now all that said, I am not too worried with my current provider Spectrum. I will be shocked if they try to create fast lanes and block or slow down content at their choosing (which they can only do if they disclose it to their customers). I dont remember this ever being an issue before 2015, so that is something there. But soon we will have Google in the area in a few years, and already have Cincy Bell fiber as a competitor. So any dick move by them will result in a cancellation, and make a switch probably. But I do feel bad for folks in areas that dont have competition.
