Americans tell ISPs, don?t mess with our Internet

Following the Verizon v. FCC ruling, Consumer Reports polled households with broadband service and found that 71 percent of them would switch ISPs if their present carrier tried “to block, slow down, or charge more for bandwith-heavy services.”

They’d also be inclined to complain to the ISP, complain to Congress and the FCC, bad-mouth the carrier on social media and in general make a nuisance of themselves.
