Stop the Cap

We support robust competition in the broadband marketplace, to bring as many service providers as possible into every community. Where competition is woefully inadequate or does not exist, we support reasonable regulation to prevent providers from only wiring selected neighborhoods, charging confiscatory rates, imposing unreasonable limitations and... caps, and providing inadequate service. We also support local communities having the right to consider and construct municipally-owned and/or operated broadband facilities to meet the needs of their citizens and businesses. No community should be forced into a broadband backwater at the behest of a monopoly/duopoly commercial provider(s) which refuse(s) to upgrade service. Consumer protection and pro-consumer actions are a primary focus of this site. Certain politicians and legislators have a voting record or take policy positions which we may determine to be pro-industry, pro-consumer, both, or neither. The positions and voting record of these individuals are what counts, not their political party. We do not have any bias about the technological platform being used to provide broadband service. This site does not advocate for one technology over another, but we are open to honest, unbiased reviews (pro and con) of individual service providers.Read More
