I was assured in media, and on HN, that it would result in immediate plan segmentation.

The most common lie was plan bundling.

It was claimed this would begin immediately.

In the last 2 years, internet is cheaper, faster and more available. Hell, I'm in an AT&T monopoly building and it's both cheap and fast. No bundled plans here.

Who said this?

You can’t simply gesticulate towards a bogeyman group. Where are the informed/authority figures telling you it was going to instantly segment? Random people you supposedly recall on a tech forum do not count. I could find a comment for literally anything I want to say and apply to this whole place if I really want to.

And maybe Internet got better where you are, but the offerings and prices where I live have not changed in almost 10 years. The only thing that meaningly changed was Verizon entered the neighborhood about 4 years ago offering slower speeds than others at pretty much the same price. Ultimately I don’t know why we are discussing this though, since the issue of ISP’s taking government money to build out infrastructure that they never did is separate from net neutrality.

This image, along with others similar to it, were repeatedly posted on Hacker News, Reddit and social media when this was discussed.

Are you actually trying to claim that pro-NN campaigners did not repeatedly claim that it would lead to immediate plan bundling? That's laughable.

Never happened, they lied. The opposite happened, speeds/access/availability have never been better.
