>The robocalls cite no evidence supporting the claim that net neutrality rules will raise cell phone bills and slow down Internet service.

Because only people in favor of Net Neutrality are allowed to do that. Remember before the repeal, proponents of Net Neutrality claimed we would all have to pay more or receive slower service? I certainly do.

I'm not in favor of these robocalls any more than I'm in favor of Net Neutrality supporters lying to people. arstechnica are pure hypocrites. They did exactly this, now they complain about the other side doing the same.

>Perhaps your ISP will throttle the high-bandwidth BitTorrent file-sharing protocol—or whatever replaces it. (Remember the Comcast BitTorrent debacle that resulted in Comcast paying $16 million?) Or maybe your ISP will just charge you extra to use it.
