Remember the dial up internet? The delay in all things became a distraction. Well with the Trump FCC vote in about two weeks net neutrality supported by Obama will probably be reversed.

Affluent households will pay more to maintain thier current speed. Sites like Mudcat will have to do the same but the increase in cost is unknown to me. Mega corporations will get the eight lane internet highways and Mudcat in comparison will get the neighborhood lanes.

Will exceptions be made for educational sites? Nope, all advantage goes to commercial enterprises of extreme size.
