The Internet needs to be Classified as a Utility like water and electricity.
I am sick and tired to the teeth of only being able to get 6 megabits per second download / 0.6 megabits per second upload speeds DSL internet from my “monopoly” Internet Service provider in the middle of nowhere because my ISP is TOO GREEDY AND CHEAP to upgrade their infrastructure. I can’t even get star link yet because of too many high trees around the house and landlord won’t let us touch them!!
Also their needs to be some mandates in making a law that makes the internet a utility that sets the following:
Minimum Residential Internet Download Speed = 250 megabits per second
Minimum Residential Internet Upload Speed = 25 megabits per second
Bandwidth Caps made ILLEGAL! Monthly Bandwidth must be UNLIMITED!
If a ISP receives federal government funding to improve internet infrastructure… They will have to show and prove their using that money to improve infrastructure or lose that funding.
ISP’s can’t excessively raise consumer prices because the internet is now a utility… They MUST Keep Prices Competitive.
ISP’s that Fail to Comply with any of the terms in this law will receive massive fines.
