The Internet Is a Series of Tubes

The Senator is an intelligent man, and knows that "bandwidth" refers to the size of the straps used to hold the tubes together.

He also fully understands that clogs can occur in the tubes, in which case, one must use a router to clear them out. He knows that data is launched into the tubes much as a golf ball is struck. The point of data launch is tee one, and for net neutrality to work, those with the most money should have first crack at the tee, also just as in golf. This sort of knowledge is instinctual among Republicans.

Data is delivered to people on the net by young men and women, usually college students, called servers. They all work in large, rural compounds in Iowa and Wisconsin called server farms, so we never see them.

Once in a while the tubes will break, allowing all the data to gush out. You can then surf on this.
