We don't have to put up with limited data

During the pandemic the net/ tv and cellphone services have always had the capacity to not have to throttle anyone's data.
So they lie about their Network capability.

The telecoms and net providers need a foot up thier collective asses on this point. We deserve unlimited for the big fees they charge.

Soon they'll be getting a lot less money. So they better wise up. And customers need to demand more for their money.


These fuckers need to be told to serve in an honest way,or revoke their corporate charters.

Are you suggesting that someone IS throttling data? If, so, why not specify? brooklynite Jun 2020 #4

Once people run out of money the damage from a simple boycott will be magnified and they'll be forced to provide better services or lose even more money.

I wish phone,net and tv were taken over and made national non profits.

After all the government paid for the infrastructure they charge us to use. It belongs to all of us,not a few CEO squatters controlling things and profiting off what we built.

chipped in so it added up to a couple billion dollars, buy some congresspeople, senators, and regulatory types, we could have a say.

In the meantime, if you want wireless phone/internet connectivity, you'll just end up paying your bill, like everyone else does (again, not speaking about you personally).
