We must rid ourselves of Socialism in all areas and that includes the
Internet. Those who are willing to pay big bucks for faster
speed should get it. Put those who don't want to spend $200 bucks a month
back on the slow lane, this way it will encourage
them to get off their lazy butts and find a better job or a second job if
need be.
In thinking about this Water delivery should also be UN-Socialized too.
Pay more and receive better water pressure. The bottom
tier get 20 Lbs pressure and the top tier get 60 Lbs.
