Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet equally.
Internet should be a service like water, sewer and electric. Just another utility.
No. The internet should be treated as a utility like it is in other countries. Our access speed is much slower than other countries and it's embarrassing.
No, but providers should intentionally slow "offensive" websites (i.e. white nationalist or jihadi forums, or shock sites) for the sake of public wellbeing
No, keep Net Neutrality, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices.
No, because private companies would monopolize the internet.
I feel they should all load the same and quick enough
Just do what you will.
No, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet, because this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices.
Should providers be allowed to? Sure, but only at their own peril. Government should remove restrictions so that newer competitors can threaten their monopolies. These companies also face threats from decentralized networks like Helium. They should be allowed to implement variable site speed, but it should cost them in the market by allowing competitors to exist.
Yes, if the provider or end-user is paying for prioritization, but with protections that prevent intentional throttling of non-paying providers or end-users
No, but the government shouldn’t regulate this
Throttling data speeds intentionally should come with a fine.
The market place has shown Net Neutrality to non-relevant because technology has resolved the issues with speed. Government involvement has shown continually shows its ignorance and only wishes to obtain governance and power.
If a website is more visited, the connection should be sped up.
Not only should that not be the case, but internet should be free for all and not be privately owned or government owned.
Yes, as long as the ISP always provides the service level that the customer pays for regardless of the site visited. (If you pay for 300MB you should always get 300MB, if you happen to get 500MB from another site then great.)
Yes, this type of behavior will make their business unattractive and force current users to abandon their current provider, encouraging the business to stop
No, they should not slow any down, but should be allowed to charge more to boost the speeds. It's frustrating to go to a popular site and have to wait because so much traffic is ahead of you.
No, and provide high-quallity, free-at-the-point-of-service federally owned broadband.
i dont really have a say.
No, ISPs should be nationalized.
Through overbearing regulation, the government has created a monopolistic environment in the ISP space. Create an environment for innovation/competition, and then this will be a non-issue. Speed it all up.
I think they should speed up all service providers
No, and establish a public telecommunications company to build broadband infrastructure and provide affordable wireless broadband and 5G service.
Their a private business so let them do what they want
No, just let spacex find out the way to the future buddy lol.
Allow the free market to control itself.
yes they should speed it up for people that pay more but dont slow the people who pay less.
No. Because the internet permeates so much of our lives now it is functionally a need and should be considered a public utility.
Yes, but only if they are not receiving any government subsidy... and if they do it should be transparent
Yes but within reason, there should be minimums in place so everyone can compete.
No, this would be unconstitutional and add more favor to the wealthiest websites; there's too much of that already.
NO. Return net neutrality.
No, and the internet should become a nationalized utility
No, they should speed up access to all sites, especially in rural areas with terrible internet for the price of good internet.
Yes, but this only works if there is not a monopoly on the service.
No, this is a violation of free speech and should not be permitted for platforms so broad as internet service providers.
I work for an internet company and cannot be impartial
Internet shouldn’t be taxed and there should be high power internet for everyone at the same price
there should be no private property, and no monetary currency system, this would remove conflict altogether.
Not beyond an initial pay-per-quality model. If not to ban pornographic sites, they may be slowed down beyond an initial model to improve other sites. Access to sites that are down should be slowed, until they are back up.
No internet regulation
Yes, but the industry should be deregulated to allow more competition.
Yes, private service providers should not be regulated by the government
Depends on if we’re continuing to promote capitalism. If yes then yes. If no then what are we proposing as a reasonable alternative?
Yes, of course a company should be able to offer a product. And another ISP can come along and offer a less restricted product---let the consumer decide.
First we need to remove the localized monopolies of ISPs
