Net Neutrality: FCC To Rule Against Comcast, Order Chinese Food

Everyone hates Comcast. Don’t give me that shit that it’s a decent company. Comcast is thisclose to getting shit on by half its customers and as Verizon offers (somewhat) better options and TV, customers will start to defect away from Comcast. Now the FCC is ready to make everyone’s day, by announcing that Comcast knowingly and wrongly fucked with your Internet.

Crack open a Bud. You deserve one. The FCC is expected to levy fines against Comcast on Friday and rule that Comcast cannot interfere with consumer ‘net traffic. This is a win for all of us.
