According to a survey from ExpressVPN, nearly 75 percent of Americans will react negatively if their internet service provider stops treating all data the same, which is looking more and more likely as the vote approaches. That wasn’t the only significant number that came out of the study. Nearly half (43 percent) of respondents said that they would switch providers if they found out they were treating data differently, while 21 percent claimed they would expressly complain to the FCC. And, for those in Washington planning on pulling the plug, nearly 20 percent of respondents said they would seek to vote out elected officials that don’t support net neutrality. With this many Americans in favor of net neutrality, what are the options for internet users hoping to forego the hassle of the potentially abandoned rules? One option is to use a VPN for your internet access needs. If you don’t want to set up a VPN, or simply don’t feel like these rules should be abandoned at all, it’s time to speak up. The vote is around the corner and reaching out to elected officials is one way you can really make a difference. Or, you can join the battle for net neutrality here. Do your part to save the internet!
