Is it Time to Ditch Comcast?

Court Questions FCC Authority to Impose Net Neutrality - PC World Business Center

It may be time to ditch Comcast, to send them a message, as they go down the road of destroying net neutrality.

Net neutrality is not something that requires debate -- it is simply something that is right. A right, as it were, to which each and every citizen is entitled, whether or not Comcast believes it, or whether or not the courts uphold it. Bits are bits; and bytes are bytes. A byte of data carrying a voice transmission or a byte of data carrying music or a movie -- it is all the same. But companies want to have the right to discriminate! I thought we were just about over that battle!

No; send your message loud and clear to Comcast, and if they don't hear it, cancel your service. This cannot be permitted to happen.
