is how long you'll have to wait for the buffering to do all of those things, and how much extra you'll have to pay to your slimy ISP to get decent speed.

with a shred of decency will work for you, this is the awful sort of offal you're left to work with.

Wouldn't it be interesting to know what sort of "fringe bennies" the media moguls reward this ass with?

Just got my January CommieCast Bill. My service is going up $5.00 per month...to maintain such wonderful service. Second $5.00 raise in two years.

I guess they want to get in as much extra cash as possible before adding even more Pai Pay after he fucks Americans.

Hmmm? Does his name sound like "PIE" or I-get "PAY"?

To compensate for paying extra for internet and because we don't want to be forced into subscribing to FOX, we pay that extra cost.

BUT . . . . our internet service provider does not provide good service. Our internet goes off repeatedly even in the middle of movies we stream. This problem began after our provider was purchased by a new provider.

We even called a service repairman to the house to fix it, but it still just shuts off. Service is much slower than it should be considering what we pay.

If our service is lousy now, what will it be after Pai gets his way with us????

We live in the middle of a city, not in a rural area.

Leave the internet as it is. The service providers can't do the job they have now, much less a more complex job of deciding what internet fare we should get and what we shouldn't.

And I absolutely do not want to have to pay more so that my internet provider can make it easier for people to watch Fox and harder for me to get what I want on MY computer.

Yes to net neutrality.

The FCC should be making sure that internet providers do the job they promise to do when we sign up for internet service.

What Is Ajit Pai Doing in This Anti-Net Neutrality Video Next to a Proponent of Pizzagate?
http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2017/12/14/ajit_pai_s_millenial_oriented_net_neutrality_repeal_video_has_a_pizzagate.html


Gizmodo reports that Pai at one point in the video appears to be dancing the Harlem Shake beside Martina Markota, a vocal proponent of the Pizzagate hoax. In the run-up to the 2016 election, a viral myth had it Hillary Clinton and her campaign chairman were managing a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza shop. The hoax spread through 4chan, Twitter, and fake news sites, and eventually spurred a man to discharge an assault rifle inside Comet Ping Pong, the D.C. pizzeria in question.

Markota, now a video producer at the Daily Caller, was active in propagating the myth and appeared in a video for Proud Boys, a “Western chauvinist” men’s club, expressing her conviction that it was true. “This is not something I’m making up because I’m trying to, you know, put in my fantasy version of what’s going on and interject it into these email scandals, this is independently of the campaign I know what cheese pizza is,” she says at one point.


Here's a video of Martina Markota talking about how she believes in the Pizzagate controversy.




I wonder if Pai will be fired for hanging out with a conspiracist. Since Republicans are demanding FBI agents be reassigned for just tweeting about Trump being an idiot.
