I like the mistype. Makes it seem human. I mean rwally, it was kinda funny. I hope the government stays out of controlling the internet. Once they decide they can touch it, they won't stop. What people need are contracts. If my contract with my service provider says I have equal bandwidth for all my data then they must provide that. If not, I should go to someone with a better plan. Interference by the FCC could have unintended consequences, such as companies spending billions just trying to prove to the FCC they are compliant. Yes, the network should tell us what they are throttling down but a simple answer is if its not good enough, upgrade or switch to another provider.

The FCC is like a vampire. They can't come into your home unless you invite them in. They sound like they want to help, but what they really want is to suck you dry. Don't let them in. Take care of your problems through other means.

Oh I had hoped the FCC wanted to make wireless as reliable as wired communication. Too bad it's just the regulation issue. There are too many corporate entities who'll object to neutrality, so they might's well give up. The companies are going to win. greed always does.

"I see the future which ISPs are either driven out of business or raised their fee to the degree that they have to be nationalized in order to exert price control, at the expense of taxpayers."


No, you need to stop drinking the Republican kool-aid.

If you want to move to a country where business has the freedom to operate how they choose, and the population is kept in check and forced to work hard and abide by morality, then China should be a much better place for you. I don't understand why there's not a mass exodus of redneck Republicans to China, it's everything they want our country to be...

The grammar police need to chill, but at the same time Kevin Parrish (the author) needs to start running spell check. 85% of his articles have errors that Word will find and fix.

Personally, I'd love to see a requirement for ISPs to display their upload speeds. You usually have to do quite a bit of digging to find these numbers, and they're usually a lot more important than download speeds.

[citation][nom]ssalim[/nom]Spelling/typo police needs to get a life? How about article writer on a well-known site needs to use spellchecker before publishing to the public. It's an embarrassment. Even this "talkback" has a spellchecker.Typos turn a professional article to a kiddie's blog.[/citation]

This is a kiddie blog afaic. This site has gone down hill and continues to do so. Typos/idiots posting crap they don't know anything about however pretend as if they do/quality statements getting thumbsdown while ignorant statements get the thumbsup/lack of any HARDWARE news. What happened tomshardware?

[citation][nom]False_Dmitry_II[/nom]It isn't the governments place to make sure we all have access to the same internet, the same information? I'm all for keeping the governments hands out of many pies, but in this case keeping net neutrality ensures that noone - including the government - can decide what we can and can not have access to.[/citation]

The internet is now too important to allow private company's sole discretion on how to manage it, its like public Utilities in the very near future the Internet will not be a luxury it will be a necessity. More people need to realize this rather than worrying about bit torrent speeds.
