To whom it may concern,

We are in support of Net Neutrality.

Repealing Net Neutrality is just a way to give the few large ISPs more 
control over what is able to be accessed through the internet.  I am 
already paying 50$ a month for internet at much slower upload and 
download speeds than what is technologically available with no options 
to upgrade.  When there is an ISP monopoly or duopoly that won't allow 
other ISPs to compete (ie city proposed and controlled ISPs) then what 
reason do theses gatekeepers of the internet have to offer a better 
product?

There needs to be competition for ISPs and removing Net Neutrality will 
not bring that.  Instead this will be giving ISPs control over what 
content I will be able to access over the internet.  Currently I use 
Netflix, play online games, read the news, and talk to family through 
use of the internet.  Without Net Neutrality, what's preventing ISPs 
from charging me to buy a separate internet "package" for each way that 
I use the internet?  So I could be paying my mandatory 50$ a month, and 
then need to pay an extra 10$ to talk with family, 10$ to stream movies 
and TV, 10$ to play games (on top of whatever online service I pay for 
the games themselves), and 10$ for news access.  This is just getting 
out of hand.  And what if I want to use something on the internet that 
falls outside of my plan?  Maybe overages?  Being charged for the 
service?  Or slow speeds for access that content that would dissuade 
me from using whatever part of the internet that was.  

Does streaming content vs reading the news on the internet cause the 
ISPs to run more maintenance on their lines? (The answer is no, it uses 
more bandwidth, but doesn't exceed what I'm already purchasing from the 
ISP)  The internet is as necessary in this age as electricity.  We 
could survive without it, but why hurt the nation by removing us from 
the rest of the world?  Unless we start treating electricity in this 
same fashion, the internet should be treated as a utility.

Repealing Net Neutrality would be preventing that highschool or college 
kid, dad or mom, grandparent or whoever from creating the next big idea 
that could bring our people forward and better our nation.  Once Net 
Neutrality is gone, if whatever new creators want to show the world 
falls out of the scope of people's internet plans, you're effectively 
making it that much harder for them to get visibility due to 
inaccessibility or slow speeds.  I would argue that the "Restoring 
Internet Freedom" act would allow for such information oppression to 
happen and hurt our nation as a whole.

Thank you for your time,
Mr and Mrs Lewis
