If you've ever worked in networking at a carrier or isp level, you know net
neutrality never really was to begin with.  From the beginnings of time,
there's been a feature called "quality of service" that makes sure some
traffic is always more important than other traffics, so this has always
been happening, it's really just more if they apply that lack of priority
and/or limiting of queue traffic to certain (competing) services, which
assuredly they already do now too.

This is why I still just download anything I watch like movies and shows
that aren't just random youtube videos.  What delay?  This is all on the
2nd to the cheapest cox plan - don't need no stinkin' gigablast.

Funny part is my aunt that pays for multiple streaming services and watches
everything there got hit by Cox's bandwidth cap now.  She knows I just
pirate everything, and ask if I was warned too - nope.  I don't think I
watch tv near as much as she does, but found it funny that legit users are
most affected and forced to pay even more in just bandwidth overages.

20 years after downloading my first free music and movies, piracy is still
the most hassle-free method I can use to watch tv.
