Senate Set To Vote On the Repeal of Net Neutrality

An anonymous reader writes "The United States Senate will vote sometime today on the bill that would repeal the net neutrality laws that the FCC has put into place. The bill passed the US House back in April, so it only has to be approved by the Senate before it is sent to the President's desk. President Obama says that he will veto the bill. The debate over net neutrality has largely been split on party lines, with the Democratic party mostly being for keeping net neutrality laws in place, and the GOP looking to avoid them."

Obama really needs to look like the good guy when he vetoes the bill!

Please repeal!

I'm all in favour of net neutrality, but I'm sorry, no private company could possibly screw up things as bad as when the government gets involved and starts "regulating". If the US government were a company it would have gone out of business long ago...but as things stand, that may happen son enough.

I call BS. I bet you more choices than that. I can almost say with certainly someone else can get you DSL access, even if it is using AT&T physical lines. I bet you can find one who will do it without PPOE and with favorable service terms as far as hosting as well.

Oh you are going to cry but I don't want pay $60+ for 1.5Mbit/384Kbps, Comcast and AT&T will sell me 20Mbps/15Mbps for that. Well yes they will but along with their caps, throttling, and other BS.

What most people really mean is I want first class service for Comcrap and AT&T'edoffs third rate service prices.

That's not true. Planned Parenthood runs on the blood of dead babies and they are strongly opposed by Republicans and vehemently supported by Democrats.
