        Seems like we have laws specifically to prevent this type of thing.

            We do, but laws don't often apply to large companies.

              This isn't really net neutrality related... but when did the FCC decide that one-provider markets were competitive?

                When it only cost that ISP a few grand to rebrand monopoly.

                        Well Sprint, there's a very well-known and accepted way to plead your case to the FCC.

                        Just visit the address you get from Pai's secretary...

                        ...and make this:

                        http://i.imgur.com/H4BIDKk.jpg

                        LOOK LIKE THIS:

                        https://cgcookie.com/app/uploads/2013/08/kjsbkjasdf.png

                        Problem solved.

                        This is really good.

                          @coliver looks a little tall. . . I figured a single pack of money would be enough . . .

                            You're probably right. I think those are just $1 bills though. I hear he likes to swim in them.

                                    The software itself is probably fine, it just crashes when it has faulty RAM.

                                          Actually they won't. That's the problem.

                                            Actually, real world issue, is that they deploy when you have NOT rammed something.
