The Federal Communications Commission voted 3–2 to impose net neutrality rules today, restoring the common-carrier regulatory framework enforced during the Obama era and then abandoned while Trump was president.

The rules prohibit Internet service providers from blocking and throttling lawful content and ban paid prioritization.

“Consumers have made clear to us they do not want their broadband provider cutting sweetheart deals, with fast lanes for some services and slow lanes for others,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said at today’s meeting.

    If I could get that for $43 a month out the door sure, but that is not happening from FIOS anytime soon.

    Maybe if you are in the $100+ a month crew it’s a few dollars more, but I do doubt that.

      Give them a call, you’d be surprised what the business line crew will do to get customers. I had a line for $60 a month that was unlimited. Doesn’t hurt to check and haggle.
