They won't block it, at first, they will throttle it.E.H. Ruddock wrote:God I hope not.cutuphalfdead wrote:So how long before Comcast blocks PS Vue and SlingTV?

I think it's going to be more like they're doing with mobile networks. Is it Sprint that doesn't charge you data for watching Netflix? "Like Hi Def? Our wi-fi has the fastest Hulu speeds!"

For example, let's say that the internet is getting throttled on a day some people (we're at about 60% work-at-home right now) are working from home and stuff starts going super slow. Bad things will start to happen.
The safest assumption is that we will get what other countries without neutrality laws get: internet service that's split into packages. You pay for a base service that's severely neutered, and then purchase additional access types for yet more money, like access to streaming video, online shopping, social media, or music.B wrote:I think it's going to be more like they're doing with mobile networks.

Really into messaging? Then pay an additional €4.99 ($5.86 or £4.43) a month and get more data for apps like WhatsApp, Skype, and FaceTime. Prefer social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Messenger, and so on? That'll be another €4.99 a month. Online games? €4.99.
Video apps like Netflix and YouTube are available as another add-on, while music (Spotify, SoundCloud, Google Play Music, etc.) is another, as is email and cloud (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, etc.).
Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California originally shared the Meo example on Twitter in October.
"In Portugal, with no net neutrality, internet providers are starting to split the net into packages," he wrote. "A huge advantage for entrenched companies, but it totally ices out startups trying to get in front of people which stifles innovation. This is what's at stake, and that's why we have to save net neutrality."
Technically, Portugal is bound by the European Union's net-neutrality rules, but loopholes allow certain kinds of pricing schemes like the one outlined above.
Yonatan Zunger, a former Google employee, recently retweeted Khanna's tweet, adding: "This isn't even the worst part of ending net neutrality. The worst part happens when ISPs say 'we don't like this site's politics,' or 'this site competes with us,' and block or throttle it."
