So why do people keep using Comcast again? Do they have a monopoly over some areas?

What happened to all the tech companies that were fighting for net neutrality last time? I haven't heard anything from them this time.
We're fucked aren't we?
Looking that way. Almost no company has come out against this in a major way. Unless we can somehow fight this in the courts, I really just don't see how net neutrality survives. I'm honestly about to cry thinking about, as silly as that sounds. One of the greatest tools every created, in a place it flourished (despite all the problems it spawns), could be gone by the next Presidential election.

Lol are you fucking kidding me
Aww yeah. My boy Obama knows what's up. Lol. What a joke this is.
Only in the US, the Internet exists beyond the country's borders.
It's been over a decade since I lived in an area where I was given an option for my ISP. I either had Comcast at some locations or ATT at the others. Wanted neither? Then no internet as there literally was zero option.
It's absurd how our government has allowed things to get to this point over the last few decades.

Checked my name as well as relatives with the same name. Nothing popped up for me.
However, I currently don't have Comcast. I used to in the past.
Yes.
yes.
most people are lucky to even be able to pick between two ISPs
Only reason I use them. Still thinking about dropping because of this. I hope they get crushed in court.

Most americans only have a single cable provider to choose from.
Damn that makes sense now.
Chairman Pai: I am concerned about the Open Internet order. I strongly advocate you to rescind Tom Wheeler's order to take over the web. Internet users, rather than Washington, should be free to enjoy which products we prefer. Tom Wheeler's order to take over the web is a distortion of net neutrality. It stopped a market-based framework that worked very, very smoothly for a long time with bipartisan backing.
According to some Republican shill that was on Real Time last year, it's all about leveling the playing field. Yeah, she had no idea what the fuck she was talking about.....
The FCC are going to ignore all the comments anyway. Ajit Pai is going to do what he said right at the start of the process.
Time to start writing letters to your senators and representatives to get the issue fixed with legislation.
I really hate to be the one to bust the bubble, but calling your reps, in this instance, really won't do anything. The FCC is a three person board, who are appointed by the President. Congress reps and Senates are removed from this issue.
I mean, you know, it's not going to hurt or anything, and we should always be calling our reps, but in this particular instance, they really have almost no real effect on what is happening.

They have no effect on what's currently happening, but it's up to Congress to define the FCC's powers. The main excuse for making ISPs Title 2 was that it was the only way within the FCC's powers to enforce net neutrality regulations without getting a new law passed by Congress iirc.
What does the internet look like in a few years if Trump's FCC gets their way? I see some comments on here about Comcast just blocking whatever websites they want. I guess that means things like this Amazon streaming sticks will be a thing of the past?

Some areas would be putting it lightly. Regional monopolies is very much a thing. Just look how often Time Warner Cable and Comcast service the same area for example. And they wanted to merge years ago (or am I thinking of Charter or something).So why do people keep using Comcast again? Do they have a monopoly over some areas?
Comcast has been putting in some major ad dollars on Twitter trying to convince everyone they're totally cool with net neutrality guys seriously

Corps are people too, so fair game.This is insane. People should be jailed for this.
