Nah, what you were saying is nonsense. FR is nearly 100% text, so it is transmitted about as instantly as a web page can be. The “slow downs” that you complain about were put in place for bandwidth-hogging services like high def movie downloads and file sharing services, which can keep your internet usage near 100% 24 hours a day. No providers ever bothered to try to “slow down” a simple forum like FR, because they were not the problem.

On the other hand, now that the government has total control to impose whatever standards they want, they are free to censor any content, like FR, that they might deem subversive. While the internet providers had control over their own networks, the main concerns were strictly economical, but now that the government is involved, expect them to be much more political.
