Not always an option. Where I live, just outside Nola, there's only two choices. Cox or ATT


If a provider starts throttling popular websites and fast laning others, you can bet that provider will soon have competition.

The issue with NN, it protects conglomerates like Alphabet (Google) and puts heavy regulation on potential entrants to the market. Throttling is only part of the issue, title II is the bad part.

Nope. St Charles parish has a contract with cox. The contract came up about two years ago and cox was lobbying in full force. The parish said it was "unfair" fir another company to come in and use the hardware that cox established.
