A year after net neutrality's demise, the Internet is faster

By Philip Wegmann of The Washington Examiner. Excerpts:

"It has been remarkably unremarkable without net neutrality, one year after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai killed the Obama-era Internet rule that required service providers to treat each piece of content identically.

“No big changes,” reads a Wired headline atop an article explaining that “broadband providers didn't make any drastic new moves to block or cripple the delivery of content after the FCC's order revoking its Obama-era net neutrality protections took effect.”

"Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., warned that losing net neutrality would threaten representative government."

"GLAAD feared gays and lesbians would be targeted."

"The Internet is actually faster in the United States. A new report by Ookla, a sister company to PC Magazine, shows that download speeds have increased 35.8 percent across the country. The fastest Internet is actually in Kansas City, Mo., where Google Fiber burns through the wires."
