After stewing on it awhile I realized instead of stating his case and arguing his points intelligently he gave us the 'song and dance' because he thinks the public are idiots.

Sadly, while I agree that net neutrality is hugely important, the fact that Netflix works well now is not due to Net Neutrality.
The FCC's Net Neutrality rules under Title II explicitly excluded peering, which is how both Comcast and Verizon throttled Netflix, by intentionally failing to meet demand at their peering sites with Cogent, the network Netflix used for transit.
The reason your Netflix speeds work now is because Netflix caved, and agreed to pay Comcast and Verizon to place their servers inside Comcast's and Verizon's networks.
So, essentially Netflix caved, paid the protection money, and the problem went away.
Net Neutrality WOULD solve a problem like this if it regulated peering traffic as well, but the rules that were in place until today didn't go far enough to solve that.
In other words, the regulations that were in place with Net Neutrality were too light as they were, and now even those too light regulations have been destroyed.

I am starting to think he is retarded. I mean, he can pretty much do whatever he wants, it's not like it is a democracy or anything, so why make these abominable videos???
Well the President officially supports the FCC vote so it is a done deal with Congress in my opinion.
Could [H] make a new news subforum just for Megalith called [H]ardOCP Biased Front Page News?
Gotta admire Pai, he hasn't backed down even with the personal threats to him and his family, and manages to keep his humor intact.
Not everything that the FCC did under the name Net Neutrality was removed today. Some parts of it remain, others the FTC will pick back up and enforce themselves. And some of it, well Companies like T-Mobile can step up and seize opportunity and keep the ship from sinking.
This just shows how sad of a situation we are in! The internet is soooooo important in our lives that we call for the death or to beat a person up over it? Holy SHIT PEOPLE go outside, push the keyboard in and go hunt, fish, play sports, hike, get a boat, ride a bike just get outside!! If the internet shut down tomorrow, yes I would be bummed but my life wouldn't end. I didn't have cell phones or internet when I grew up THANK GOD!!
Be part of life instead of just watching it!!!
You know... I've never wanted a paid shill to be dead so bad in my life. It's strange how powerfully I hate this person. I'm glad I never have to be face to face with them. I honestly don't know if I could contain myself.
Neither did I, but that access to information and instant communication is it turns out. Very addictive and very nice to have. I'm not angry that the guy sucks as a human being, I'm angry because he is obviously a paid shill for corporate interests. Even I admit its strange how powerfully this person effects me. Maybe it's because he actively celebrates being a waste of human space, and has made millions in doing that? I don't know.. it's a very instinctual kind of hate.
It could happen. It's hard to get people really pissed off these days, but this is going to affect things like gaming, porn, watching TV shows and movies. Bread and circuses keeps the masses placated, but this guy wants to take that away. When this kicks in, it could piss people off in a really nasty way. This guy has a death wish.
I honestly can't believe you guys are all still thinking this way.
If it goes the way he says it will, and there are more than enough others saying this same thing;
The FCC is voting right now, at this moment, to reclassify the Internet as Title I, and roll back some of the rules, not all of them, for instance they are keeping most of the transparency rules.
Then the 9th Circuit is going to rehear the FTC vs AT&T case and the appeals court is going to reverse the prior court decision because now Section 5 will no longer apply and AT&T will lose Common Carrier protections and all those people that AT&T fucked by throttling their unlimited broadband connections will get some money back. The FTC will get their teeth back.
I swear, you guys know that the media lies to you. You know it, but you still listen to what they try and sell you even when actual events to the contrary suggest that you should take a harder look.
What was it about the courts no longer allowing the FTC to help those people, and the FCC not being able to, and AT&T getting away with just fucking them, that makes you guys think that what the FCC did in the name of NN was turning out to be a good thing?
Pai is in the telecoms pockets but the media isn't? This is what I find amazing.
There, I said it. If it plays out wrong I'll be eating crow later
EDITED: OH, on a side note, I don't think the video was in good taste just like I think the President needs to stay the fuck off Twitter. I'm just old fashioned that way, this bullshit is the wrong vehicle for government officials to use when communicating with the country.
You're the one believing lies and bullshit. THE FTC HAS NO POWER TO REGULATE THE INTERNET! THEY ARE A TRADE COMMISSION. Regulating how ISPs handle access is the job of the FCC. The internet is a form of COMMUNICATION, that makes it the FCC's duty. Passing the back to the FTC means we're fucked unless congress gets off its ass because the FTC has ZERO power to do anything. Pai IS a shill. He doesn't even bother to hide it. Orange bumblefuck elected him to that spot because he knew Pai was a shill and would repeal anything done under Obama's administration.
Well, you think what you think, and I'll think what I think, and pretty soon the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is going to re-hear the FTC law suite against AT&T where AT&T was throttling customers who had unlimited internet plans and had used more data than AT&T liked.
I'll let the 9th Circuit decide which of us has a better view of the situation.

Your caps-lock key works by the way, I hear you so much better now
I would love if the courts decide in favor of the FTC, but we'll see. The 9th court makes some wacky calls sometimes. Regardless of ruling, and especially if it rules in the favor of the FTC, I expect the case to go to the Supreme Court and I wouldn't be surprised if they slap the FTC down.
You guys keep hiding under the bed and saying it's coming.
I am going to continue doing what I do and be aware that nothing has really changed in terms of how the internet was pre 2015 and how it will be going forward.
I never really had an issue with the internet pre 2015 so I think you guys are just a bunch of crazies LOL

He actually did give a detailed statement. It's just very few bothered to read it.

Youean like how over 1000000 pro repeal.comments at the FCC came from botsYup. Exactly.
When I visit every single major news site (Including Fox) and they were wailing about NN ending it really made me think that maybe ending NN is actually the good thing and to look into the issue more.
I'll also point out that the massive amount of social media attention on the issue has me questioning if the attention was from real people or not. I remember a couple weeks back there were tens of thousands of upvotes for hundreds of different pro-NN articles on Reddit. Not for a second do I believe real people upvoted all those articles. It was obvious manipulation either by big-media owned bots and/or Reddit admins itself.
