because the govt back in the 90's also gave all these corporations massive amounts of money to expand their networks to cover the whole nation, and rather then spending it to build good networks that could provide advertised speeds 24/7, they pocked it.

all the big boys did it, yet they throttle us during "peek hours" because they are selling more bandwidth then their over stressed networks can provide.

I dont feel one bit sorry for these greedy fuckers, they have screwed the taxpayers of this great nation by not following threw on what they said they would do.

they now want to toss on monthly data caps on top of throttling our connections, they also want to use traffic filtering to slow down or block traffic they find to be taxing on their networks(such as but not limited to p2p, this includes things like the WoW updater for example)

what a govt option offers is competition forcing the big boys to compete when they really dont want to, it forces them to cut prices and offer higher speeds (and it forces them to upgrade their networks to a level where they can compete)

I also feel the same way about a public healtcare option tho, It would force large companies to innovate, offer cheaper plans and give better service, it wouldnt kill them, but it would in both case take a nice bite out of their insainly high profit margins!!!
