That doesn’t count as related as it is a rewrite of the original source. Just saying, it adds no details of its own.

It does include information which the original article specifically excluded from mentioning: the ISP involved.

"Windstream" is mentioned in the first paragraph of the Ars article, while the Lumen post makes references to "a rural ISP" throughout the post.

So say that instead of related and make people waste their time reading the same information.
