I don't even visit 4chan, but as an AT&T customer this pisses me off. What other websites are they going to protect me from?

Not sure what other option I have sadly. My local cable monopoly has a ridiculously low bandwidth cap with overage fees that make it pretty much unusable.

Isn't there some way we can use common carrier/net neutrality rules on this?

You know, in Chile there is now a cable provider that promotes its lack of caps on p2p. It actually plays it up. http://www.bandaancha2.cl/

Goes to show capitalism works.

For a content hoster, they have the safe harbor protection unless they try to pre-emptively filter content, in which case they're liable for anything that they host. I'm not sure if there's a similar provision that applies to ISPs, but that'd be golden.
