Net Neutrality protections will be repealed tomorrow (Monday, June 11th, 2018), and over the next several months to a year, by my estimation, you will probably see a drastic change in the internet. Your internet bill will sky rocket, people will be censored, news outlets won’t load. Its all predictable, yet unpredictable what will happen.
But remember that the most important thing to do now, besides continuing to call your representatives, is to VOTE IN THE UPCOMING PRIMARIES, AND THE GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER. If we can flip enough states from red to blue, it will greatly help us fight back. Ajit Pai tried to stop us from getting access to important information, and he succeeded in destroying NN, but he was too late to stop us from informing ourselves. We know what to do now. We have to strap on our metaphorical combat boots, educate ourselves and others, help others to register to vote, and get the word out about candidates in your area.
EDIT: The CRA (Congressional Review Act) still has until December 31st to be voted on, so it can still be passed!
We can get Net Neutrality back, but it will not happen overnight.
Good Luck.

Net Neutrality is Dead and You Can Expect Your Internet to Change on April 23rd
Yeah, no, I’m cross-tagging because the lack of attention this is getting overall is pissing me off.
Ajit Pai killed Net Neutrality. You’ll start seeing the effects you were warned about on April 23rd. Oh, and he apparently got an award for Courage from the NRA gun nuts, too.
You can still help by calling your senators and representatives. We just need ONE MORE PERSON on our side to get the senate portion of Congress to overrule the FCC’s decision to kill net neutrality. The battle for the net won’t end there, but it’s a start. Go to battleforthenet to find out who your reps are and where they stand, and CONTACT THEM.
Twenty-three states are also suing the FCC for this. I haven’t looked into it yet, but I assume big businesses like Google and Amazon are as well. Nevertheless, we can’t rely on lengthy lawsuits alone. The changes to your internet start in less than two months. We don’t have a whole lot of time.
Blow this up. Contact your reps. Please, do something! We HAVE to get the decision overruled!
Omg….
