U.S. citizens and residents have one day left to comment on the FCC's plan to kill net neutrality. Final comments are due tomorrow Wednesday, August 30th, by end-of-day Eastern time (UTC -5).

Once the comment period closes, the FCC is supposed to review the feedback and use it as guidance to revise its proposal. However, it probably won't hurt to also contact your congressional representatives, given the antagonism of the FCC's current leadership towards both the public input and net neutrality itself.

    That kool-aid tasted like homework. When I did mine, I had the choice between two equally bad providers for high-speed, which happens to be better than about half of the houses in the US, according to the FCC.
    Wireless broadband is for people whose horizon is more than a couple miles away. I also comes with caps and speed limits which barely qualify as broadband under 21st century advanced economy criteria.

    Overdue payment speed is definitely not one of the criteria that would make me switch my payments towards the most evil of the two scumbag companies I had the privilege of selecting from.
