Support net neutrality? Here's why:
1. You don't think bandwidth hogs should pay for their excessive use of service.
2. You don't think ISPs should give a hospital sending an MRI priority over some idiot downloading porn.
3. You don't want the ability to switch to a new ISP in order to get fairer service.
4. You want the same "neutral" internet as China or Pakistan.
5. You think the government (which can't keep a budget together, or follow it's own rules) can manage the web without risk.

Yet another instance of Glenn Beck trying to take something that isn't a spade and turn it into a spade.

Reason things like bit torrent are "throttled down" is to keep the overall speed for everyone up. All the activities you mentioned are high bandwidth. Don't limit them (in terms of speed) and the whole system gets bogged down. Bandwidth isn't limitless, and as such, speed cant be either. If no one is being censored, then it is a matter of speed. No amount of regulation will make the internet run faster.

@PUCKonADD That's just it. No one is saying they are being "Silenced" by the ISP's. The issue is that ISP's can (and have) limited or outright ban certain activity such as bit torrents, gaming, video streaming, etc. The problem is that you can't just switch; cable companies have regional monopolies. Until there are real options (no, dial-up/satellite/DSL are not real options) they need to be regulated to keep them from screwing everyone... which they've been doing.

I'm not saying these companies are as pure as the wind driven snow, but at least with them, we have choices. Don't like one, switch to another. With government in charge, we're stuck with it for at least a couple of years. If we're so censored by these corporations, why can I go find far left and right wing blogs? Why can i find reviews that rip there companies? Why are there pages for the US Army and terrorist groups? Where is the censorship?

Quick question: Who is being "silenced" by their ISPs? And lets say for a moment that these companies trying to block our freedom of speech due to their agenda. Do we really think that putting the government in charge will change that? We'd be changing one agenda for another. I'm sure that a Republican congress and president would be fine with you starting up a Democrat website.

It's almost comical that what he is talking about has absolutely NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with net neutrality. What is NOT funny is that a lot of uninformed people will listen to this trash and assume that "Net Neutrality = Censorship" and rally against it.
-
I don't remember anything in Net Neutrality that gives everybody the right to Internet. Glenn Beck doesn't know anything about this issue. Net Neutrality keeps the greedy companies from telling us what and what we can't view.

The courts made the right decision!!!!!

Scary. When I heard Beck was against Net Neutrality I assumed he was ignorant as he usually is, but he know EXACTLY what Net Neutrality and he's STILL against it!
Is there any right he won't sell off just to avoid the government stepping in!?

Please don't believe this complete crap.
Net Neutrality is exactly the opposite of what Glenn Beck is trying to tell you here.
Net Neutrality means that all internet service providers need to treat all web content equally. They can't block certain sites, slow down or speed up your access to certain sites, etc.
Do your OWN research folks, and just don't take this guys word for it, and you'll see that Glenn Beck is on the WRONG side of this argument.

I stopped listening after he said, "You know, America?" He has like 2 million sheep. There are over 300 million Americans. The vast majority of Americans know that you are a nut. Stop talking as if the entirety of America is listening to your crazy ass.
