[Elecraft] [Bulk] OT: Verizon's response to Net Neutrality: in Morse code!!

[Gary Smith]

I keep getting ads for Comcast & Verizon on how much I will benefit 
from their services. 

Come here, want to buy some candy?

My reality is I pay our local Cable provider $102/month for expanded 
Basic which has all of the major networks I am interested in. With 
this I also get internet which officially is 100Mbps download/20Mbps 
upload. In reality I get 125Mbps download/30Mbps upload. None of my 
downloading is throttled, ever.

No way Verizon or Comcast will give me all this for $102/month.

73,
Gary
