I buy my phone straight from the factory and cruise well with a free WiFi hotspot, too. I was talking about wireline/cable as that's where the discussion was. But even your unlimited wireless data plan isn't really unlimited, as the speed gets throttled after a certain point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, it is in the contract that they can't throttle me. I have never seen it lower and less than 12mbps when all over the place in cities and such. My plan isn't one of the new plans that throttles after 22gig and only let's you hotspot until 10gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beat, sorry. Can any supporters of net neutrality tell me what actual presently occurring abuses the reg would discontinue? There are many theoretical abuses that will "go away." What actual ones will be prevented? And can/could any of those theoretical ones be remedied by law/regulation promulgation once the abuses actually occur? If they couldn't be remedied at that point, why not? Very serious about those Q's. Have heard/ read many times that the sky will fall minus NN. Just not sure how that fits reality.

Well, his responses are certainly repetitive, and don't really correspond to much. Unfortunately , for him, I think that he just has very limited vision. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
