The Federal Communications Commission voted 3–2 to impose net neutrality rules today, restoring the common-carrier regulatory framework enforced during the Obama era and then abandoned while Trump was president.

The rules prohibit Internet service providers from blocking and throttling lawful content and ban paid prioritization.

“Consumers have made clear to us they do not want their broadband provider cutting sweetheart deals, with fast lanes for some services and slow lanes for others,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said at today’s meeting.

      Get a business line, if you plan on staying at your current residence for longer than 3 years. Usually you can get it for a few dollars more than a residential line, and it’ll not have a data cap, plus they’re going to have a 99.99% SLA for uptime…and you’re not going to be getting some script reader if you have issues.

        None of my local ISPs have data caps on regular home internet plans. Y’all just need better ISPs.

        100Mb symmetrical fiber is about $40-50 and Gigabit is about $80/mo from ours
