What do you think about what comcast is trying to promote?

I am sure you have heard of what the FCC is planning on voting on in the upcoming weeks. If not here is what is its to put it simply:

Comcast, Verizon, Time Warner Cable, and AT & T are trying to make websites slower unless if the website owners pay them. (To make it faster) They are doing the usual 'Donating' to senators and representatives to attempt to convince them to vote yes. The vote will be on Feb 26th.

Anyway personally i'll have to close my business if this happens. I can barely afford to pay my host much less comcast. And most of you know for customers visiting websites there is something called the 5 sec rule. Pretty much 70% of your users will leave after waiting 5 sec. (or something similar) Thats what a study showed. What are your opinions/complaints?

Heres a funny image someone made on Battle For The Net

Anyway, i did the Battle For The Net thing. I'm also trolling Comcast's customer support.

That sounds like an awful idea of them! I do not think this is ever going to happen.

^ It almost did happen. But it looks like the FCC is going to vote in favour of net neutrality at the end of this month, so it doesn't look like we have to worry about this much anymore.

Not exactly. Currently it looks like thing are going in favor of Net Neutrality but its not exactly certain. If most of the people that we dont know what their standpoint is yet go to the side of Comcast & fools then Net Neutrality could be over.
