There's nothing hypothetical about what ISPs will do when net neutrality is eliminated. I'm going to steal a comment previously posted by /u/Skrattybones and repost here: 2005 - Madison River Communications was blocking VOIP services. The FCC put a stop to it.
Keeping the internet free and open is paramount to ensuring the gatekeepers of the internet can’t tilt the competitive playing field. One website should not be prioritized over its competitor. We must save #NetNeutrality

2005 - Comcast was denying access to p2p services without notifying customers. 2007-2009 - AT&T was having Skype and other VOIPs blocked because they didn't like there was competition for their cellphones. 2011 - MetroPCS tried to block all streaming except youtube.

Find your senators' phone numbers using https://savethenetfromtrump.com/ &say this: I support 'Title Two' net neutrality rules & I urge you to oppose the FCC's plan to repeal them. Specifically, I'd like you to contact the FCC Chairman & demand he abandon his current plan.

Imagine Paying $7 to stream a movie from Netflix, HBO Now or Watch ESPN and your cable provider tacks on $2 more. That's what killing

I have a feeling all the MAGA don't believe it until it actually happens to them, then they'll blame it on cloudy days or something on that line.
