          So I still can't tell if Pai is a shill or a zealot.

                  I haven't even read the article, and I can already tell you exactly how much I trust Comcast. Slightly (very slightly) more than Lenovo!

                    I just don't get who would fall for this? Verzion isn't the only one that violated the tenants of Net Neutrality in the past.

                      Don't forget that without net neutrality, AT&T has gone so far as to totally block Facebook from AT&T customers.

                              Once these net neutrality rules change and ISPs start blocking services and websites, does that change the terms of our contracts and are we then free to change providers without early termination fees?

                                Depends on what the contract says. Chances are they didn't write a contract to include obligations to net neutrality, the law did that.

                                  @bnrstnr I would assume so.

                                    Why would you think that?

                                      The bigger question is - do you have any real options to move to?

                                      I don't. The best alternative option around here is 12/2 DSL.

                                        That doesn't make any sense. That's like a million to one chance. First because they specifically would write contracts to make sure that this can't happen. And second because there is no trigger to make this different than any other time.

                                          I have to agree with @JaredBusch and @scottalanmiller why would you think this would give you an out.

                                          They most definitely have a clause that allows them to change their Terms of Service at will. All you'd end up with is a letter in the mail saying things are changing, whether or not you read it and have alternative options is an entirely different matter.

                                            I'm pretty sure if they decide to change their terms part of the letter stating so gives you an out. As SAM has stated though, the law was dictating these rules before, likely nothing in the contracts.
