Americans From Both Political Parties Overwhelmingly Support Net Neutrality, Poll Shows (mozilla.org)
Mozilla conducted a survey in which it found that a majority of Americans do not trust the government to protect Internet access. From an article, shared by a reader: A recent public opinion poll carried out by Mozilla and Ipsos revealed overwhelming support across party lines for net neutrality, with over three quarters of Americans (76%) supporting net neutrality. Eighty-one percent of Democrats and 73% of Republicans are in favor of it. Another key finding: Most Americans do not trust the U.S. government to protect access to the Internet. Seventy percent of Americans place no or little trust in the Trump administration or Congress (78%) to do so. Mozilla and Ipsos carried out the poll in late May, on the heels of the FCC's vote to begin dismantling Obama-era net neutrality rules. We polled approximately 1,000 American adults across the U.S., a sample that included 354 Democrats, 344 Republicans, and 224 Independents.
You only need one regulation.
If you advertise X speed service, they you must provide that service, 24/7, regardless of service.
Period.
No "up to", no, "Peak Times", etc. If you are going to cap data, it must be obvious. And...no take backs during the term of the contract.
If you can't, don't advertise it. If that puts you at a disadvantage, upgrade your infrastructure.
In short, don't be a fucking asshole and sell what you can't provide.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
stupid pre 21st century shit-code slashdot.
My point was to illustrate that this was hardly a 'neutral' pool - they were a pool of enthusiastic internet users who (likely, as they regularly want to participate in polls) are probably unemployed.
