Just because the law was killed in April doesn't mean the technology to fuck you over already existed and was ready to go immediately.

It's literally blocking traffic to legal websites. That's a cut and clear violation of net neutrality.

Because they are smart enough to not screw people over immediately and wait for people to forget first. Watch as most people don't care since net neutrality was so last year.

Not really a net neutrality issue, otherwise boingo would be out of business.

It's kinda shady though for sure.

Would be great if most of America didn't have only one or two viable providers in an area.

So, don't support them. Switch to another ISP.

They're going to care far more about losing market share than they ever would have about some "net neutrality" law that probably wouldn't've done much about this situation in the first place, given that it related to a misunderstanding of an entirely different law.

Except ISPs bought legislation so they don't actually have to compete. Capitalists hate competition after all. It cuts into profits.

Google just didn't have thick enough bootstraps.

Surprisingly ISPs work together and divide territory in a way they don't have to deal with competition. Thus makes sure they can all screw over their customers for every penny they can take.
