I think this is a great example of why net nuetrality is so bad. 

We aren't choosing from "the fast lane for everybody" vs "the slow lane for everybody and the fast lane for those who pay".

The former is how you drive innovation. You let those who an afford the luxury buy it, and as it matures, its finds its way into regular consumer's hands.

Let the flaming begin.

Thought I'd share this with the group. If anyone has friends/relatives that don't understand net neutrality have them watch this youTube video.

I think it explains it perfectly for the layman.

Burger King Trolled Customers to Perfectly Explain Net Neutrality
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a3nmze/burger-king-net-neutrality-ad

[VIDEO]: https://youtu.be/ltzy5vRmN8Q

  	Burger King created a "fast lane" for Whoppers in the
	commercial, which allowed customers who paid more to get their
	burger faster.  Without the net neutrality rules that the
	Federal Communications Commission repealed last year, internet
	companies could charge customers more for faster access to
	certain online content, just like the Whopper fast lane. They
	could prioritize some content over others (chicken sandwiches
	over Whoppers, for example) and throttle service on content
	for some users (very, very slowly handing over the bag).
	Look, I'm not one to gush over brands, and at the end of the
	day Burger King's goal is to appeal to woke millennials so it
	can sell more burgers. But it created a really useful PSA in
	the process, which also points viewers to an online petition
	where they can protest the change in the law.  Oh, and in case
	you missed it, there's even a dig at FCC Chair Ajit Pai at the
	end.
