Net Neutrality Complaints Rise Amid FCC Repeal (axios.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Internet users are complaining more about net neutrality-related issues since the FCC voted to repeal the existing net neutrality rules earlier this month, according to the FCC's consumer complaint data. The FCC allows consumers to submit complaints about a variety of telecom-related problems, from receiving unwanted phone calls to billing fraud. After adopting net neutrality rules in 2015, the FCC added net neutrality to the list of possible gripes, such as slowed-down internet service or content being blocked. The FCC can use those complaints to spot trends or even launch investigations. According to the data (via the FCC's Consumer Complaint Center), people appear to file more net neutrality complaints when the topic is in the news and people are paying more attention to their internet performance.

    Comcast supports net neutrality, because it solidifies the current oligopoly. You're the one not paying attention.

    Cable, Dish, DSL.

    Only 9% of Americans have three or more choices for broadband. So, statistically speaking, you're probably lying.

    Having a local cable monopoly in your town has nothing to do with a Federal administrative rule.
