I can't wait for the day when ISPs are held accountable for failing to provide the speeds we pay for.

The FCC has been putting pressure on ISPs to increase speeds, but the New York lawsuit alleges that Time Warner juiced the FCC tests to make the results look better than they really were. https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/reports/measuring-broad...

Recently, the FCC dropped its case defending an inmate calling cap rate. The ISPs now have someone on their side.

Start by requiring more transparency in advertising. Customers deserve to know exactly what they are buying.
