I am in favor of net neutrality. Let me go over exactly why throttling and paid priorities is a bad idea. I, am a gamer. I play video games. I breathe video games. I sometimes even live them in my head. However, not all games are gems. Many are trash. Some of the greatest gems, are those games that are truly free to play. Most of the garbage ones fail, on the fact they tote the free to play price of free, then slow any progression in the game to a literal crawl, unless you constantly do microtransactions, meaning those who actualyl HAVE money, get far. while those that do not, simply don't since its not enjoyable. Eventually, the formerly dedicated crowd leaves for something new, something fresh, or something simply cheaper. Now, Net neutrality, is quite similar. While you do pay for the ISP's access to the internet, it should not then be bogged down by additional transactions, or by being punished by being slowed to a crawl, with the exceptions being bait to try to make it palatable. The net has always thrived as it has always been. Neutral, open, and strong. Would you want to pay to cross a toll bridge about, lets say 5 miles long (super long realistically i know but this is an example)? Maybe you can, since its cheap in this example, say 5 dollars. Now, say that you're not allowed to only go one mile an hour, unless you pay twice the price, at which point you can go 10 miles an hour. Now lets say you have to pay twice as much again to go 20 miles an hour, and again to go 30, 40, and finally 50 miles an hour. Unless you're under the owners employment, in which case you get special treatment to go 50 for the cost of the 10 Mile per hour price. You can pay 5 dollars to take an hour, ot 80 to take ten minutes. A rich business owner might not think too much of 80 dollars for a percieved shortcut, but the bridge will recieve next to no normal traffic simply because it is not feasible. that speed limit is similar in nearly every aspect to the concept of throttling. It chokes the life out of creativity and economically is unsound. I am a working, taxpaying middle class american, and frankly i couldn't afford anything even one quarter as ludicrous as this idea is. The internet isn't broken, please do not mess with it. Messing with things that aren't broken at all, is how they get broken to begin with.
