Ajit creamPai is just a puppet of the corporations, he's a dick that's corrupt and rubbing the fact that he's corrupt in your face, but he's just the most visible festering boil on the whole ugly face of our government.

I mean fuck Ajit Pai and all, but that is a very efficient mug and it doesn't deserve hate for being associated with the grim reaper of digital freedom.
We need to end unjustified hatred of big mugs now.

That’s great but can we stop rubberbanding our rights in and out of existence?
To do that the current party in favor of removing rights needs to be kept out of power long enough that they conclude that removing rights is an electoral loser and changes their ideology accordingly.
I'm not going to hold my breath.

hopefully at least when ISPs and companies see that it’ll just be back and forth, and that things like “fast lanes” can’t be relied upon in business planning there just won’t be a market for it, or at least the fuckery will be significantly diminished because it’s not reliable long-term

My internet is run by my coop power company, just a reminder that all the major ISPs took billions and promised fiber and then royalty fucked us, so now my internet is run by a rural power company.
Call your power company and find out if they're installing fiber. Support this move as it weakens Comcast and AT&T's death grip.
Net Neutrality has been taken away before and it can be taken away again. Just get with a coop. I've torrented literal terabytes without even an email telling me not to .
Co-ops are a good thing^tm^ , I belong to several small co-ops, from electric, to telephone, to farm.
A coop near us is rolling out 1Gb fiber up/down to rural homes. Considering most of them could only get DSL or use 4G/3G internet, it is amazing. I have to wait to see if they come in town for their rollout, as they have to pay another power company to use their power poles. Everyone I know is switching to the coop as it is cheaper, more stable, and unlimited.

Waiting for the day someone bonks him in the head with that stupid thing
John Oliver's was better.

Fuck Ajit Pai
It’s about damn time!!
Maybe this will be the one thing that will fix my ISP and let me play online video games without frequent disconnects. I think it's bad node or something, but I had my ISP at my house over 8 times and they couldn't figure it out. Meanwhile my unifi gateway shows a high ping at least once a day.
Go spectrum!
Go spectrum!
I've noticed my Spectrum Internet has really degraded in quality in the last months, which coincides with them doing a whole bunch of upgrades to their network and such.
All of my devices in the house that use the Internet now lag in their UI presentation speed, where they didn't before.

I just hope nothing "extra" gets tacked on....
The internet is healing.........Don't look over there, it's already necrotic...
We just need to cut that part off. Sorry Facebook, Amazon, Google, et al.
Cool, now break up the monopolies while you're at it FAANG should be like 500 companies, not 5
Hell yes. Glad to see some sense returning to government if a bit slowly at times

For anyone who was confused by what "vote to propose" means:
If the FCC issues the notice as expected on October 19th, the next steps would be a public comment phase followed by issuance of a final rule. This process could result in a final rule restoring net neutrality requirements around spring of 2024.
