Probably 2001ish. You know back when ISPs were required to honor net neutrality.



When did NN get repealed?

real talk.. if the NN repeal sticks around and holds up in court.. and the internet improves as a result i'll be happy as frick. that would be excellent.

but if it doesn't and ISPs abuse consumers.. then what? Deregulation at the local level could fix it but is an unrealistic option. Is there a solution other than state/federal regulation?

Not until today. Do you understand the difference between information service and title II? The internet was originally Title II but reclassified down to information service under Title I of Clinton's 1996 telecommunications act. However ISPs were required to honor the principles of net neutrality as an information service. Until 2014 when Verizon sued the FCC. Then we moved back to title II in 2015. But rules that the ISPs must honor net neutrality have been in place since the dawn of the internet. Until today.
