Capacity costs money to build. Are the people using it paying for it, or is the cost being spread over all users including the low-bandwidth email users?

My personal opinion - use should be metered like electricity or gas - if you use a lot, you pay a lot. If you use a little, you pay a little. That way, the expenses are allocated properly.

This is why anyone who wants advances and additional services over the Internet (especially ala carte Video/Movies/Sports) will be OPPOSED to anything that even obliquely references "Net Neutrality".

There are no service levels on the Internet because those who need them for the conduct of their business are not allowed to pay extra for it and the ISP's are not allowed to offer it for sale.

If they could the tradition telephone and cable TV business would be dead overnight.

I’ve definitely been getting more error messages lately. (The can’t connect to server type.)

To this day, I'm convinced that it wasn't simply incompetence that caused Overland Park, KS to jerk around Google while they were trying to negotiate a contract, but a pay-off to the cable companies that have a stranglehold on the market.

If you go to the Google Fiber map of the Kansas City area, there's a great big empty where Overland Park is, and Google has announced that there are no plans to install their high speed service in Overland Park. I've sent an email to the Overland Park city council saying if they pull the same crap with AT&T and their new high speed that AT&T is planning on bringing to the KC area, I will need to think about moving to another city.

I’m paying for 20 Mbps speed from AT&T. The other night watching an Amazon prime flick, the speed dropped from from 20 to 1.5 several times. It made the movie almost unwatchable as it stopped repeatedly.

I remember 15 years ago or so, the liberals were whining and crying because there was too much investment in supply and that there was too much dark fiber. My reply was that there wasn’t enough investment in services to use the dark fiber.
