Just curious. How do the trumpets feel about him repealing net neutrality.

Good thing? Bad thing? So you know what net neutrality means?

You use more bandwidth than other users, you should pay more. Someone who only uses it only to check email should not subsidize Netflix users. The problem is monopoly, not net neutrality.

@Cierzo There is already an easy way in place that facilitates this without violating any net neutrality principles - such a person just needs a barebones plan with a low data cap, and those are cheap.

People who use a lot of bandwith require expensive connections, with no/high data caps, and those are more expensive.

Net neutrality is more about charging and servicing all high bandwith users the same, rather than letting people go crazy with free bandwidth.

Yes, you're right. You are however NOT arguing the correct issue. As a customer, you pay a fixed $ amount, for a level of access. Let's say you pay $35 per month, for 8Mbps speed, and $55 for 15Mbps. Removing net neutrality means that Comcast, on top of what you're paying, can charge you an additional fee, to access Netflix.

This means that they can decide that each bit on Netflix content, is worth more than each bit of your email reading.

Don't buy into "conservatives" arguments blindly.
