I study online, my children sometimes study online, and my job depends on good internet. My provider always has slow, intermittent service or outages and does not fix the issue for weeks because they don't have to. This is not just my problem; it's a widespread issue affecting millions of Americans.

Currently, internet providers monopolize regions, limiting competition which leads to reduced speeds and higher prices. With no other options available, citizens are forced to buy their product or go without internet entirely. This lack of competition hurts education and job opportunities as reliable internet is essential in today's digital age.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), over 21 million Americans still lack access to high-speed broadband (source: FCC). Additionally, studies show that monopolized markets can charge up to 40% more than competitive ones (source: Institute for Local Self-Reliance).

We must make all internet infrastructure a public utility function. Doing so will ensure fair pricing, better service quality, and equal access for everyone. Sign this petition if you believe in ending the monopoly of internet providers and ensuring reliable connectivity for all!
