You are exactly right, if I had a choice. You wrongfully assume I have 20 other options for access available to me. In my rural location there is absolutely no other affordable option at all. It is a choice of access, or no access at all.
And I am not alone in this country with this situation. A large percentage of this country have no alternative option away from liberal owned carriers who are now and will be censoring without remorse because they now can legally.
Should I have to move in order to have more options other than the monopoly of AT&T in my location? Or should AT&T not censor content as a general equal service provider?
The act was repealed with the false assumption that we can trust the service providers to be fair. And that there is always a different option available universally to everyone.
That the one size idea and concept fits all. This ignorant assumption was and is WRONG in the real world.
Don't use AT&T's DNS servers. Use their service but not their DNS.
