Comment Re:Sigh (Score 5, Informative) 711

I have two younger siblings who are on ADHD medication. They are lively fun people to be around when they aren't on their medication (usually during the summers when they aren't at school because my parents believe the medication will magically bring about better grades). On the other hand, they are zombies and very different people when on the medication. It kills their appetite and they are much less outgoing, it is a very noticeable difference.

"So long as your ISP claimed that it was trying to prevent copyright infringement or helping law enforcement, it could be exempted from the net neutrality principles."

So all they have to do is claim? "Preventing copyright infringement" seems to be high up on the list of motivators for anything the ISP's do anymore (and the Feds for that matter). This is so vague it seems like it could be stretched to essentially allow the them to do anything they wanted under the guise that it is "effectively reducing pirating."

Comment Different Story for AT&T in western Ohio (Score 1) 395

It really depends on where you will located the most, like 30 people before me have said. I know everyone likes to bash AT&T but in my situation its the only major carrier in the Dayton-Columbus-Cincinnati area that will get coverage around where I live. I went out four wheeling with a friend into the middle of nowhere and had 3G coverage west of Dayton close to the Indiana border on my iPhone. I also travel back and forth between Dayton and Columbus all the time and have mostly seamless coverage. Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint don't get coverage at all and I had horrible customer service issues and phone hardware problems several times with both Verizon and T-Mobile. I have a few friends who had Sprint who had to get boosters from the Sprint store in order to even use their phones at their house. Its all about location, just do your research and ask peoples opinions around where you will be located the most.
