 Charter is using net neutrality to repeal to fight lawsuit over internet speed charter sites FCC preemption of state net neutrality rules in Case filed by New York. So in short, let me just sum up what's going on here. This is our second article. I'll leave the link in the comment in the Description below What's happening is? Charter was caught in basically completely deceptive business practices This becomes a net neutrality case because this is basically the law that they were being charged under to said you lied to customers They had a network that was unable to they did not have the infrastructure to deliver the speeds that they were billing clients for so they simply Lied and said they could deliver speeds of clients that they just could not do their network was not capable of it There's a lot of details over it, but that's not the part that's interesting these companies fight They do this they say we're gonna provide internet and then they don't and what where it gets a little bit twisted here Is the letter they sent to the court? This is the specific thing and how it directly relates to the net neutrality and directly relates to what the FCC might do tomorrow December 14th 2017 today being December 13th a particular reference here the draft order includes extensive discussion of the interplay between federal and state law Including with respect to transparency rule on which Charter has relied in arguing that federal law preempts The attorney general's allegation that Time Warner Cable made deceptive claims about broadband speed consistent with the SEC statement and prior orders enforcement advisories the draft order concludes regulation of broadband internet access service should be governed principally by a uniform set of federal regulations rather than a patchwork of separate state and local requirements draft order 190 notes that allowing state and local governments to adopt their own separate requirements which could impose far greater burden than the federal regulatory regime Could significantly disrupt the balance we strike here, especially by requiring each IP to climb with a patchwork of separate and potentially conflicting requirements across all the different jurisdiction operates Just sum up what they're trying to say here We don't see your authority state of New York. So yeah, we lied. Yeah, we're being sued by the state of New York attorney general for deceptive business practices and in not delivering what we said and Being just an awful company here because if you go around lying to clients in saying this in normal world You would switch to another provider going there. I had Charter, but it was awful They claimed I would get a certain speed and I just didn't get it and you know That's the weird switch to our company, but unfortunately in New York They're the only internet game in town for a lot of areas Therefore you're stuck. That's it. You have Charter this company lied to you They build you for services. They didn't do and they're saying their defense isn't that we didn't do it their defenses we we don't see your authority to even prosecute us and These net neutrality laws are going to be removed. Anyway, it's on December 14th now. This is a fight still ongoing and still in the courts There's a rebuttal by the state of New York attorney general and it goes back and forth But this just points out the problem when you have these deceptive promises by these companies when they're doing things wrong How hard it is to prosecute them they're doing it even while the net neutrality laws haven't been repealed But now that they are there's their answer now is not that we're gonna stop doing things and be an awful or lying to customers and charging Them for we just don't recognize your authority to even prosecute this for it. That's their rebuttal not that we didn't do it Which there's of course mounting evidence that they did do it They lied about the way their infrastructure and network and this is you know where that you would dig into the details What the suits about and this is the problem is people think net neutrality is to regulate the internet It does not regulate the internet It is to say that the packets must pass equally or that the past packets are packing it to speed by which you there I would see the argument that oh you should be you know Companies need to pay for their internet or people need to pay for internet. Yeah, I agree pay for their net That's not a problem at all I don't say you shouldn't pay Charter for internet speed But if Charter says they're giving me a hundred mag they should give me a hundred mag internet Simple as that I give them money. You give me a hundred mag. That's seems like a reasonable trade But to charge me for a hundred mag then lied to me about giving me a hundred mag when I notice It's not and it coming up to a class action lawsuit the Attorney General and your answer isn't that oh you just don't understand You measure the speed test wrong like oh yeah, we were breaking the law But we don't recognize your authority to prosecute the law. This is why we need net neutrality now They said in a perfect world. We would just switch providers, but there's not other providers This is almost like satire coming to life This is the South Park episode where they make fun of how bad the internet company is and people they make it like the old Great depression era where they have to move somewhere else for internet and this is literally become considerations people have when they go Somewhere's how bad do I need internet and what's the internet like it's gonna be like change housing values in the future or city values in the future Because if no one's gonna want to move to somewhere if they have an internet heavy business Which most people are using a lot of online business online services for their business like us if we go somewhere where there's not good internet We can't move to that city I hope this fixes it at some point But they'll lock these companies have Makes it really really difficult and this is why we need net neutrality does not regulate the internet It is not some horrible rules to put these companies out of business It's literally to stop deceptive business practices and saying that you do the thing you say you're gonna do which is just simply provide internet Not filter and pack it and you know Reroute people's internet around so this is one more example of it Absolutely be a needed that we need net neutrality hopefully the doomsday isn't tomorrow, but I Have a little faith in our system at the moment that they're going to do this, right? So hopefully this content was helpful and gave you some enlightenment and you can see directly companies that are behaving badly and regards to net neutrality If you have comments leave them below if you like the content here like and subscribe if you like these news rants Let me know or what my opinion on some of this stuff.
