FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has made a dangerous proposal to destroy the FCC’s net neutrality rules—the very same rules that keep Internet providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from choosing which websites you can and can’t access and how fast those websites will load. But before he can enact this terrible plan, he has to make the proposal publicly available and accept comments from regular people about how it would affect them. That’s where you come in.

Today, we’re launching a new tool that will help you craft a unique comment to the FCC: DearFCC.org. Using custom-generated text, we help Internet users develop and submit personal comments to the official docket with just two clicks.

We launched a similar tool in 2014 to help users have a voice, and over a million people used DearFCC to speak out. Now we need your help to defend that victory.

Net neutrality—the right to access all Internet content freely without your Internet provider slowing down or even blocking content at its whim—is fundamental to our democracy. As communities across the United States fight to speak out on contentious political issues, the citizenry needs to know that government-subsidized monopolies like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon aren’t dictating which website we can access. The clear, light-touch rules enacted by the FCC in 2015 are the Internet’s best hope for ensuring we have a free and open Internet.

Let’s send Chairman Pai a message: this is our Internet and we’ll fight to protect it.

good luck with that, anyone who proposes this is clearly being bribed or influenced so it is highly unlikely that comments from everyone else would stop this.

From the speeds and pricing complaints i hear about these companies they shouldnt be government subsidised. Sure it is expensive to lay cables and buy networking gear for ISPs but without google these companies would leave the US in the internet dark ages and the amount of money they're getting they should be able to easily afford infrastructure upgrades. Most things are hosted in the US so they dont have international traffic to worry about either like ISPs in other countries.

Doesnt mean you shouldnt try. Though if you did expose the chairman of the FCC that would ensure a win.

net neutrality i assume is so you guys in the states are allowed to use 3rd party cable modems on your isp cable connection , i wih we had that here as we have just 2 cable companies and they pretty much force you to use their crap all in ones and lock out bridge mode forcing you to use the under powered chipsets and ram

dont let the fellas at the friggin fcc do it again

@pete y testing , it has nothing to do with physical equipment, it has to do with traffic shaping.
For example, limiting traffic to netflix to promote their own media streaming platform.
