Tennessee has continued its fight against a city that wants to expand municipal broadband service, arguing in a legal brief that the Federal Communications Commission can't preempt state laws that limit the rights of cities and towns to offer Internet access.
New research by MoneySuperMarket reveals that nearly two-thirds of Brits (64 per cent) would consider switching internet service provider (ISP) if they limited access to websites, with nearly six million trying to access a blocked site in the last week alone.
They're going to need a VPN regardless of which ISP they go with after the EU force Article 13 on us.
Hopefully we will leave with no deal before then.
Crafty ISPs may be getting a larger pound of flesh from tomorrow's larger file sizes...
4K is a monumental waste of resources, and internet usage is no exception. Technology lags behind the 4X jump in resolution, which started out as a way to coax consumers to dump all their TVs and buy new ones. It stresses all the links in the chain. Eventually, we'll be able to deal with it in stride (though by then, I imagine they'll be pushing 8K or ridiculo-similar on us). For now, 1080p does just fine for me. Easier on everything from my gaming hardware to my wait times.
Your ISP may give you an excellent router. The fact remains, however, that you are shelling out money to rent it.

Don't interfere with our right to interfere with our citizens rights.
Basically Tennessee doesn't care about it's citizens with horrible internet service and is fighting its own cities to protect the shitty companies that pay them off and refuse to upgrade to modern internet technologies.
I don't like these horrible laws and ideas that we must protect old outdated companies who refuse to get with the time because they care more about money when there are better companies with better technology. It's almost like they are aiming to stop evolution of these technologies just so they can make more money.
