Support Net Neutrality

The Issue

New Networks Must Be Neutral Just as Washington is deciding to spend billions of dollars to connect Americans to a fast, accessible and open Internet, phone and cable company lobbyists are swooping in to change the rules, scrap the Net Neutrality requirements and stamp out consumer choice.

Please sign the petition to support Net Neutrality.

Last week, Cablevision announced plans to offer download speeds of 101Mbps and upload speeds of 15Mbps beginning May 11. According to news reports, the New York-based cable company will not impose usage caps or overage fees on this new service.

This begs the question why Cablevision can offer fast access with reportedly no caps or overage fees, when others claim such a plan would cause the sky to fall and an exaflood to break the Internet. One of the largest internet providers in the nation proves that the technology is there and that companies only use this excuse to defeat the idea of net neutrality and destroy the internet to make a buck.
