Kind of scary for your ISP to want to control what you can visit or can't.

The guy that runs Virgin Media (my ISP) has said "net neutrality is bollocks". That he wants to charge websites for the bandwidth we have already paid for.
I hope the website owners tell him where to shove it. If youtube refuse to pay, and they get hundred thousend people calling tech support, will they tell them "well youtube wont pay us for the bandwidth we charge you for"? If youtube cough up, I doubt my dads broadband bill will go down.

Thankfully the only people who are actually against net neutrality are the telecoms.
Everyone else, from consumers to large internet companies like Google, endorse net neutrality.

This whole bullshit about how the ISPs have to charge for bandwidth is beyond stupid - they ALREADY do charge for bandwidth! The argument about net neutrality stifling innovation is even more idiotic, since net neutrality is what creates the level playing field for everyone to do business ON.
