Agreed and well-put. Lack of evidence cannot give creedence to a claim. It's all well and good to believe in (the absence of, or possibility of) supernatural being(s), but to state such beliefs as objective is not follow the scientific method.

What evidence do you have to back up that claim?

Be sure you read their terms regarding external or network-connected drives. I remember something about them not allowing some form of drive external to your computer (because otherwise you could back up several computers, when they want you to pay $20/mo per computer)

Wonderful input, thank you. As far as I'm aware, because we haven't had NN, the downside we've seen is ISPs counting data usage for streaming, e.g., Netflix toward a user's monthly data usage, whereas they wouldn't count data usage count if the user was streaming from the ISP's own streaming service.

This leads me to believe Netflix, Disney, and the swath of companies who provide streaming services, but not their own ISP, may be, indeed, a proponent of NN.

I can see how, with the combination of ISPs losing money due to implementing that patchwork of "Internet laws", and other non-ISP-providing streaming service companies losing money to a lack of NN, we may see NN codified into law. But, to get there, things have to get worse first, no?

Can the FCC be influenced by donations from private interests? Is there any sway congress can impose upon the FCC?

If your elitedesk can fit two drives and has a USB slot, honestly just a flash drive with a bootable Linux image. The 'dd' command has the capability to copy one drive to another
