BURGER KING Explains Net Neutrality

[MarcATL]

The repeal of Net Neutrality is a hot topic in America, but it can be very difficult to understand. That’s why the BURGER KING® brand created WHOPPER® Neutrality, a social experiment that explains the effects of the repeal of Net Neutrality by putting it in terms anyone can understand: A WHOPPER® sandwich...



They did a bang up job. I think I'll be getting a WHOPPER this week.

I don't get the purpose of repealing Net Neutrality, for anyone but big business, and their profits.

The people in this country, really don't quite get things straight, both parties have a lot of kook ideals.

Sounds good on paper, but anyone over the age of 7 understands that ISPs are typically scarce in any given locale.

Meaning, folks don't usually have much choice in who they have as their Internet providers.

Are you 6, or 5?

Exactly!
If you use 10 times the band width as the typical customer, you shouldn't have to pay any more.
100 times more, so what?

Maybe a better example would have been charging the same total price whether you buy 1 Whopper,
or 5 Whoppers or 10 Whoppers.......

I'm so sorry, but cracking down on Net Neutrality will help the Liberals further crack down on controlling the net.

Actually net neutrality is easy to explain. Treat all data equally. The fact that AT&T is asking Republicans to write new laws on net neutrality shows that thery are worried about it coming back.

It is okay for ISPs to tell you where you can and cannot go on the internet.
