It is the splitting of the internet pipes into two sets of pipes, one filled with awesome goodness, and the other going through the sewers.

I don't got a one sentence definition for net-neutrality.

Definition for Non-net-neutrality: If you want to use the unclogged pipes, it'll cost ya.

Every packet is created equal?

i am one more sentence richer as to the definition of net neutrality, so they want to create a free internet and then a costly fast internet?

It's an attempt to cash in on old technologies instead of innovating and renovating like the rest of the world; and fvcking us, the consumers in the process.

Net Neutrality is the current movement to keep the Internet's routing system the way it is by avoiding the creation of a hierarchical prioritized ordering of packets based on some relatively deemed worthiness.

Excellent. While the intention is sound, the implementation will be undesirable to say the least.

Not based in the same manner that removing net neutrality suggests . If you want to make it a bit better, just add in "website's" before "relatively" which shows that it's based on sites.

Could you elaborate? Specifically the old technologies you're referring to, and the innovations from the rest of the world?

'removing' net neutrality? and how do you plan on removing something that isn't there?



i've said it before, and i'll say it again: politicians can barely check their email, i don't want them writing laws regulating how the internet is going to work. when a network engineer says that 'net neutrality' is a good thing, maybe then i'll pay attention. as long as it's only fat companies having an argument with other fat companies over who will foot the bill, i think the government should keep the hell out.

Alright, so instead of investing in new technologies and furnish their customers with the latest innovations, in hope of charging more for better service, they're doing the opposite. Sitting on old infrastructure (with slight improvements), they would try to tier off different level of service by prioritizing packets, the priority is based on how much a web based service, herein WBS, would pay them. With Netneutrality, even if you have a 10MB pipe (yes, "old technologies") and the WBS don't pay, your connection could essentially be gimped to let's say, dial-up?

Right now you're paying for high speed internet service correct? And you are rightfully assumed that the service you paid for is equal with all WBS with regards to connection speed. Let's say WBS A pays the telco to have a higher tier service, which in turn the telco gives packets from WBS A all the priority, while WBS B could be providing the same service to you, but because they didn't pay the premium so their information will be getting to you at a snail pace. In order to compete with WBS A, WBS B will have to pay the premium, which will eventually be distributed as additional cost to you, and me, the consumers.

Many parts of the world already have far better connection services than the US for the same or even less amount of money. They compete based on quality of service, not throttling bandwidth. Welcome to the internets!
