Democrats unveil legislation forcing the FCC to ban Internet fast lanes
The trouble with all this is that it is reactive rather than proactive.There is a simple solution that would put an end to all this BS,  and this is to separate the last mile from the middle mile the same way that the old AT&T was broken up to split local from long distance service.  (This is how they do it in the UK and UK people are very happy with their internet service.)In this case you get a choice of different middle miles and different television services from different providers.  If work got around that "the Verizon network is congested" people would just switch,  and I think you would find network connectivity problems get fixed in days rather than years.
