The Federal Communications Commission will vote to eliminate a rule that requires Internet service providers to list all of their so-called “passthrough” fees on an easily accessible broadband price label. The FCC vote could also make the price labels themselves a bit harder for consumers to find.
ISPs routinely advertise prices much lower than those actually charged to consumers on their monthly bills. One method of raising monthly bill prices above advertised rates is to tack on fees that, ISPs claim, are used to offset charges imposed by local governments.

Trump voters really voted to get scammed and a worst quality of life for everyone else lol. There is not one thing good this admin has done.
I don’t want to disagree, but how about enabled the Charlie Kirk incident?
Wouldn’t have had Charlie Kirk without Trump. Horribly not worth.
To be fair, they did increase the biodiversity of the reflecting pool
In the European Union all ISPs market their connections based on maximum speed. However, the law requires them to meet at least 90% of that maximum advertised speed throughout the entire year (might slightly vary between countries), with some room for error. If they don’t - easy lawsuit.
Internet is also usually extremely cheap. In my country you can get it as cheap as $8/month, with very good (>=500Mb/s download) connections rarely exceeding $25 USD monthly. Hell, you can get an 8Gb/s download cable for just a little over $40/month.
Europe always forgetting about the shareholders. How’s the c suite going to afford their third yacht and their fourth mansion charging those prices?
$8 ?
Same here. Romania
I get 500Mbps for about 10 euro
Canada, I can’t get 500 but I can get 360Mbps for CAD83

I wonder if there is any other countries where you will not know how much you’ll have to pay for internet until after you’ve signed a contract.
even more reason to stop using American services.
Where can I sign up for Canadian Internet in my US State?
by leaving, hope this helps :)
If every American who was being harmed by this admin moved to Canada you’d be amazed how quickly Canada would be come anti-immigrant.
It doesn’t, at all
Right…
Know your place, trash!
Biden Bad, so therefore anything Donvict does == doubleplusgood.
Don’t talk to me about any facts, I don’t want to hear 'em!
I cant tell which side this is parodying anymore.
If you don’t get the reference, you should read 1984.
Jesus.
FUUUUCK I hate these “hologram” stock photos where the text isn’t reversed. So I’m supposed to believe that the user is looking at a reversed image??
That’s just how magical it is, the text flips for everyone reading it.
