Senate Votes To Save Net Neutrality
This proves to be devastating not only for those who use the Internet on a regular basis, but also the gaming community, as developers and players alike rely on a speedy connection to keep things moving along. So, like all of us, they argued that Net Neutrality should stay in place, despite the FCC’s plans. And it looks like the Senate agrees.
As reported by CNET, a vote was held in the Senate to see if Net Neutrality could be restored. And thanks to a very tight race, Democrats were able to secure a victory, temporarily protecting the Internet -- and its users -- from Pai’s advances. At least for now.
The repeal of net neutrality ended up passing the Senate by a margin of three mere votes -- more than enough to give it strength as it makes its way into the House of Representatives next, where the fight is likely to continue over the next few months. Still, a win is a win, right?
As a result, the Internet will remain the same and Net Neutrality will not be removed as of June 11. But there’s still votes ahead at the House of Representatives -- not to mention having president Donald Trump sign off on it, which he’s very much against.

Completely mis read this lol but damn we need to repeal this already so dumb how they want us to pay for additional things and throttle our connection smh!
"Just because they can, doesn't mean they will" is what I've heard. When people forget that Comcast has ALREADY done it, before Obama put this in place during his term. Remember? Comcast had a huge stake in Hulu, so they would purposely throttle anyone using Netflix, and entice them to sign up for Hulu instead. Netflix ended up PAYING Comcast to keep their Streams good.
They will gladly do it again. Every game has microtransactions now. Why shouldn't the internet? "You've played CoD for about 30 minutes...Pay $5 to keep going."

With ~80% of citizens agreeing that Net Neutrality should be protected, this is sad that this is even news.
I'm happy as hell with the outcome but I wish the flaws in government weren't so visible right now.
