Netflix seems to have reached it's peak and may be regressing in ti's market share, but when content such as Netflix can be up to 40% of the traffic at peak bandwidth  spikes, that content or service is causing service providers to invest more money to provide decent service for others on the network that are not Netflix consumers.

One idea is to charge either Netflix and/or Netflix subscribers to pay a bit more for that service to offset the cost.

Another issue is a service such as Facebook causing security issues for customers and the service provider's network, it's possible to limit those security issues.

Think of a providers ability to shut down access to the dark web and criminal activity.

hopefully, it's much more about service providers being able to pay for and protect the networks they have built and continue to maintain.

Obviously, this opens the door for abuses by service providers, but the thought is that the public and the industry will police itself.  There's only one way to find out.  

If Net Neutrality can be repealed, it certainly can be put back in place if things go awry.

They aliens speak English.

the department had chosen an unlimited data plan that gets throttled to speeds of 200kbps or 600kbps after using 25GB a month but that Verizon failed to follow its policy of "remov[ing] data speed restrictions when contacted in emergency situations."

"This was a customer support mistake" and not a net neutrality issue, Verizon said.

Perhaps the fire department should pay for a plan that assures they have enough bandwidth to support their operations in an emergency?

Because ISPs should take responsibility for their customer's emergencies

56K is the top dial-up modem I remember from the 90's.  200-600K is 4-6 times better, but why not exaggerate?

I'm now concerned that our dish will lose signal on a Saturday.  

I guess I could run down to the restaurant next door, but they may have dish also.

LOS happens nearly every time is rains or is very cloudy.

Has this been a convention for a long time -- throttling speeds after a customer accumulates a certain amount of data use (e.g., 25GB/mo)?

yes, Verizon wireless, for example, has been doing this since they offered an "unlimited" plan.  Sprint and AT&T were way ahead of Verizon here.  wireline companies have had "data caps" for years.

There are 188 units in this building.  I know the head of the HOA, I could ask, but I'm pretty sure they are locked into Dish.

Any rewiring of this building would be ... difficult.  

PHILADELPHIA, PA and LOS ANGELES, CA (August 24, 2018) – Comcast Corporation and Fox Networks Group announced today that they have reached an agreement for Comcast to continue carrying the Big Ten Network. The companies also reached an agreement for Comcast to continue carrying all of the Big Ten games on FS1. 

Under the terms of the agreement, Comcast will continue to offer Big Ten Network to its customers who reside in states with Big Ten universities (Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin). Xfinity customers in Delaware, the District of Columbia, and the Northern Virginia/Beltway area will also continue to receive the network given their proximity to Big Ten schools.
