[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3062457, member: 9374"] Actually there were myriad abuses by ISPs intended to block certain traffic and limit their customers' access to certain services. It's quite well-documented, and the ISPs in question have already rolled back some of the promises they made at the time of the regulations including transparency, freedom of access and lack of surcharges for certain services. The ISPs stand to make untold BILLIONS by squeezing their customers and small businesses alike in order to promote their own brand of favoritism as it applies to being able to visit certain websites or utilize certain services. How are you going to feel when your ISP gives you "50 megabit internet speed" only to limit certain streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime unless both the provider of the service AND the internet consumer both pay a premium on top of the regular price package? Lots of money at stake in this vote, especially for telecommunications companies. [/QUOTE]
