The cost of our providers here in canaa are insane, phone internet TV, Ive done away with TV but I need my internet and gb on my phone.

I heard that cable companies are starting to hemorrhage clients in Canada in favor of people just having netflix and other various online streaming services. I'm quite surprised we haven't seen more change here.

I have done a complete 180 on this topic.. I really did have to think about it, it was not obvious. Jeffery Tucker spends enough time on the topic and addressed my concerns while adding clarity to the topic. I really like James Corbett too, I watch everything he produces..

No thanks, I gave up fast food a long time ago.

I agree. the fight for net neutrality is a paradox. Govt is corrupt and got rid of net neutrality, so we need government (who is corrupt) to regulate the internet. lol.

Net Neutrality isn't perfect, it puts control into the Government which has been proven to not give a shit time and time again, but if Internet Service Providers have free reign, they will do far more damage.

If lack of Net Neutrality allowed competition, I'd be all for it, but the Internet Service Providers have put laws in place via lobbyists that prevent anyone from competing with them. Now they will have no competition and free reign to manipulate what anyone has access and who can succeed by pushing down anyone that they don't agree with or doesn't pay them enough.

Yea, it ain't perfect, I see your concern. At some point people have to wake up to the legality of the laws them-selfs.. It ends when you can't find juries to convict on non-violent crimes. If it really did snow ball, it would be a good reason to try and move to p2p networks finally.

The ISPs are monopolies and have this control because of the government. They have melded with the state to create barriers to entry which are designed to stifle their competition. It is the opposite of a free market.

We need more ads like those!

That's very impressive. coming from king burger, i think the message will be clearer. Here, we have a choice on our service providers cos its morr than one! Though some are very epileptic. But i dont believe in the monopoly of the internet service business.its so large and cannot be handled by one company. Good job, king burger! I hope your campaign works.!

Good post @themarkymark. Well done

If you are not in the USA, you likely have a choice on what Internet Service provider you choose and have better speed for far less than we do. You also not likely forced to purchase 300 useless channels in a TV bundle to get the 1-2 you want to watch.

well, yes! we have the privilege of getting to choose what internet service provider we want to use but for the second point you mentioned, I think thats a bit general as we experience the same thing from where i come from. To get one or two TV channels you want, you will have to purchase along with it hundreds of other useless channels you dont want.

I live in canada.... watching hockey from my igloo, through our service providers, took my penguins last pennies

Epic comment.

Thank you. They definitely have the market cornered here.

Burger King should stick to burgers 🍔
This is pathetic government propaganda!
Government control of internet is not a good thing!

There can be no free market with the regulations in place to prevent it, so ISP's on their own will do far more damage than the government does.

In my country we have the privilege of choosing which service provider to use but that doesn't give us any advantage. This mainly due to the fact that service providers especially in the telecom industry all have very high non attrative billing rates, our choices are limited to speed.
Thanks for sharing the information. That is one very passionate add.

The corporate America, has sold out the people! Big names like Facebook, Google, Comcast, at&t, ect.., are all guilty! I don't see why the American people let this keep occurring, it's only hurting us in the end! So many sheep, and not enough wolves! image

It's sad huh, people are starting to wake up...may be too little too late for some

So surprising this happens in the usa, well here at Nigeria there are some decoders which we have to pay for over 100+ TV stations when we need less than 20 but your case over there seems more drastic with the issue of network providers

Thumbs up to you and burger King restaurant, I hope your message is passed across , have read all your other post big fan, Good morning here from Nigeria
