The Government and the FCC[Federal Communication Commission], Should stop the Tele-Communications, from selling bundles.
It Is the worst thing that could ever Happen. Especially since the consumers; Ability to complaint about service has been Thrown Out.
{ By the I agree / or Do not agree} Button that have to be clicked for Internet service.(ALSO: THIS IS ILLEGAL CONTRACT)!.
Currently The Tele-Com's Have Given themselves the "ABILITY" to "RATION"! out The First Amendment:
++Mainly Freedom Of Speech and Freedom Of Press.( By Their Agree or Do not Agree). Before the provide service!.
**THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO DENY SPEECH OR PRESS TO ANYONE!!
The Telephone Lines and Cables are not Just for Large Corporations,They are for Public and Private use.
This is what they are Trying to achieve: Total Control and Dominance in: What you can see, hear, or speak and write!. By Offing the Consuming public: Apparently Low Prices on Many Peripherals. That The Consumer Believes that they are getting a good DEAL, "WHICH THEY ARE NOT!.
Regulatory, INTERVENTION IS NEEDED!.
Being pushed off a or "TERMINATED at the "DISCRETION OF SOME EMPLOYEE HAVING A BAD DAY, OR AN ATTITUDE ABOUT WHAT SOMEONE WRITES, THAT IS NOT TO HIS OR HER LIKING.
IS THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FCC GIVING TOTALITARIAN AND FASCIST AUTHORITY , TO A PACK OF GREEDY MONGRELS, {THE TELE-COM} INDUSTRY!.
THERE IS NO WAY TO GET SERVICE!.
THERE IS NO WAY TO GET MAINTENANCE!.
THERE IS NO ONE TO CALL ABOUT SERVICE DROP-OUT (OFF)!.
WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM, THEY SAY IT'S YOUR COMPUTER OR EQUIPMENT,AND IN MANY CASES THIS IS AN OUT RIGHT LIE AND FRAUD(AGAINST CONSUMERS)
WHERE THERE IS NO PROTECTION BY THE GOVERNMENT ![Why FCC does not have a complaint for such activity is incomprehensible.]
AND THERE SHOULD BE PROTECTION OF BASIC SPEECH AND PRESS!.
AND NOT AT THE DISCRETION OF SOME LAME BRAIN OVER PAID OVER RATE(THEMSELVES) COMPANY AND EMPLOYEES'. {AND WAY OVER PRICED].
IN GENERAL THERE IS NO VENUE FOR THE CONSUMER, OR AVENUE FOR THEM TO PURSUE, IF THE DAMN THING STOPS WORKING!.(or If They are Denied ACCESS).
THAN THERE IS THE BOLD BLATANT CONSUMER FRAUD THAT THE TELE-COM'S PERPETRATED AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BUSINESS AND CONSUMER:!
BY SAYING THAT THEY HAVE A MAIL SYSTEM THAT; IS YOURS(LEADING THE CONSUMER) TO BELIEVE, THAT THEY CAN WRITE AND CORRESPOND PERSONAL MESSAGES: WHEN THEY ARE NOT.
THEY ARE VENUES FOR THE TELE-COMS TO ADD [ADVERTISEMENTS] TOO. THIS IS NOT PERSONAL MAIL!}.[This is corporate selling] and I Want To know WHEN I AM GETTING PAID???.
THAN MOST OF ALL, AFTER A TELECOM COMPANY TELLS YOU THAT YOU {STATED} OR WROTE SOMETHING THEY DO NOT LIKE.
GO AND TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT THE TRASH, OBSCENITY,PORNOGRAPHY THEY PUT AT THE : TOP BOTTOM, SIDES OF YOUR MAIL!.IF YOU COMPLAIN THEY SAY TO LEAVE.( The Telephone and Cable Line Are For the Use Of The Public and Private Use)!. These company have no legal ground to ask any consumer to agree or not to the use of Public access and they have no right to deny[access] , but they keep trying
THEY: {THE TELECOM] INDUSTRY WOULD, GIVEN HALF A CHANCE ; TURN THE PUBLIC AND CONSUMER INTO THEIR OWN PRIVATE WHORES!.
**YES: Intervention is very needed!.
+++HARMFUL BEHAVIOR.
YES IF TRYING TO DOMINATE AND CONTROL SPEECH AND PRESS IS NOT HARMFUL, WITH NO AVENUE OR VENUE FOR THE CONSUMER TO COMPLAIN AND NO CONSUMER PROTECTIONS;
***YES THIS IS A VERY HARMFUL THING!.
**WHAT IS EVEN MORE HARMFUL,, I AM SITTING IN MY HOUSE
IS THIS FASCISM? OR TOTALITARIAN

I have a proposal for a fair solution to this problem of net
neutrality, one that allows ISPs to offer enhanced services and also
gives people a good way to decide between service providers. Simply
require that, when they advertise bandwidth numbers, an ISP may not
throttle below that bandwidth for any service. They can offer
specialty services that exceed that bandwidth, but they may not
advertise it as "internet speed" or as an unspecified data rate.
For instance, if Time Warner advertises a 5000/384 connection, they
may not throttle ad hoc traffic below this rate, but they may also
offer other features beyond this rate, eg movie/music streaming or
download.
I wrote a letter. I got back a response that said "thank you for your views on this matter." And since my representative is of the opposite party than me, I think I've done more harm than good. "Hey, the other side wants us to keep net neutrality, so it must be a good thing for our side!"
Seriously, I don't think writing to 60 year old men who don't understand the issue will help this situation.
I'm in the hole of the broadband donut.
