On Wednesday afternoon the Federal Communications Commission filed its net neutrality order to the Federal Register, an FCC official confirmed to TechCrunch. Once published by the Register, the filing opens the gates to an inevitable outpouring of legal challenges from net neutrality opponents.
It's been a year to the day since net neutrality was repealed, so what better time to see how it's affecting the average web user?
What? I'm sorry, but charging a rental fee for a modem the user outright owns has NOTHING to do with net neutrality. That is just simple fraud, or a mistake. Law enforcement and civil actions are not blocked by the corporate FCC takeover.
I'm all for net neutrality, and I think Ajit Pai should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail. But this is ridiculous clickbait.
Not quite they'll be renting. The ip address or the routing table or the authentication key or any number of items they could claim as renting.
They've caught ISPs carriers slowing traffic or trying to start selling fast lanes. Might not be in your area, but it is happening.

Dang look at that bellend. He doesn't get the whole laugh at or with thing does he....
As expected, net neutrality is officially gone, as of today, June 11. This is a fact that the FCC’s Ajit Pai says is a good thing. In a recent CNET op-ed, the chairman says he supports a free and open internet and you will too, in time.Of course, the FCC's Ajit Pai says it is a good thing.
now the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. voices get silenced. smaller websites and apps will find it harder to grow as well.
yeah...looks like the ideal future of the internet.
The Senate on Wednesday voted to reinstate the FCC's net neutrality rules, passing a bill that has little chance of advancing in the House but offers net neutrality supporters and Democrats a political rallying point for the midterm elections.
its dumb things like this that make encryption and pivate networks become a thing. and then the same people that forced us to use such methods are the ones saying encryption is bad.
Hyperbole and gross exaggerations ahoy!
