Scary stuff.............................................
[FONT=&]When you go online you have certain expectations. You expect to be connected to whatever website you want. You expect that your cable or phone company isn’t messing with the data and is connecting you to all websites, applications and content you choose. You expect to be in control of your internet experience.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]When you use the internet you expect Net Neutrality.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Net Neutrality is the basic principle that prohibits internet service providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from speeding up, slowing down or blocking any content, applications or websites you want to use.
Net Neutrality is the way that the internet has always worked.
So, if you are paying 40 a month and your neighbor is paying 160 a month the ISP can decide to send the 40 buck a month custumer stuff real slow

[FONT=&]In 2015, millions of activists pressured the Federal Communications Commission to adopt historic Net Neutrality rules that keep the internet free and open — allowing you to share and access information of your choosing without interference.
