The truly shocking thing to me is that any voters believe the ISP's arguments and are ... I guess fine with a portion of their monthly bills being earmarked for litigation to make their consumer experience ever worse.

Anyone who thinks internet regulation is a net negative hasn't tried looking for a job in the past 15 years. Guaranteed full-speed access to job boards is essential in a way that classifieds never managed to achieve.

One of the most cathartic feelings in the world was turning in my Xfinity (Comcast) equipment for good. Years of horrible service and support and then a long came a small fiber company. Never looked back, and love their service!
