Please protect our internet!

Net Neutrality is essential to free speech, equal opportunity and economic innovation in America. Since the FCC removed this basic protection in 2005, the top executives of phone and cable companies have stated their intention to become the Internet's gatekeepers and to discriminate against Web sites that don't pay their added tolls.

This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it. It would damage my ability to connect with others, share information and participate in our 21st century democracy and economy. The FCC must ensure that broadband providers do not block, interfere with or discriminate against any lawful Internet traffic based on its ownership, source or destination.

Please protect our internet. Do not let the major companies control our internet. We the people should be able to view any site we want and it should be able load as it would normally. I am currently paying over $60 a month to comcast for JUST Internet. For that price I do not want certain sites to be reduced. This could great a dangourous situation, if certain sites are aloud to load faster than others it will force the internet web site doom worse.
