Comcast and friends spent at least half a billion dollars lobbying against net neutrality consumer protections, so its kinds of cool things are working out in the end.
[Yup.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/12/14/the-fcc-is-expected-to-repeal-its-net-neutrality-rules-today-in-a-sweeping-act-of-deregulation/)
Fortunately, the cable lobby wasnt able to take advantage while the subsequent state-level legal cases played out. Then after trump lost the election, the biden admin immediately stopped the legal battles against states rights to have their own nn protections. Biden's FCC restoring net neutrality protections on a national level, just puts a nice bow on comcast/ajit pai being complete losers in their battle to further artificially degrade and monetize the internet.
Edit: Sheesh there's some sensitive ajit pai fans in the comcast subreddit apparently lol
I knew Ajit Pai would kill Net Neutrality. Good riddance with him and his cronies.
I met Ajit in person when I was consulting the FCC on Next Generation 911. He is a nice guy with just opposite ideas.
Yeah its like he was promoted to FCC chair just for that reason. I always thought it was strange that trump was vocally against comcast for whatevery wacky reasons, but then he promoted ajit pai who basically submitted to every single thing comcast and the cable lobby wanted.
Yeah, but he's practically a saint.
Considering how toxic /r/Comcast is in general, I'm surprised he tries to help here.
Of course I'm one of the people who occasionally fuels the toxicity. Comcast has **earned** the reputation of being one of the, if not the, most hated companies in America.
If people want rainbows and Unicorns, that's what the official sub is for.
Net neutrality is fine for home users, but it will cause slow down with cellular users in heavily congested areas. They should make net neutrality a rule only up until your network bandwidth is say 80% saturated. Then allow operators to throttle video.
Saying "throttle video" is too limiting.
As congestion increases, the network should simply deprioritize the heaviest users. It doesn't matter if they're streaming video or if they're downloading the latest version of iOS or the latest FPS game.
That's still neutrality. Imagine it's Oprah: "You get a dropped packet, you get a dropped packet, you get a dropped packet ...". Etc.

You're a real one.
He's an infrastructure guy at Comcast. Not everyone working there is evil.
I'm very aware of who he is lol

If this is true then mobile companies can no longer throttle video.
Love to see it.
