FCC Voted to Repeal Net Neutrality but There Are Ways to Save It, Researched by VPNRanks.com
MADISON, Wis., December 18, 2017 (Newswire.com) - On December 14, 2017, the FCC took a vote (3-2) to repeal Net Neutrality for good and gave unprecedented powers to broadband companies. Telecom companies can now block content, slow down internet speeds, and charge premium prices for higher-quality service from users. Amidst the revocation of these rules, VPNRanks.com found ways to save Net Neutrality, which includes services such as VPNs and Tor.
Net Neutrality rules were enacted during President Obama’s administration in 2015, providing strong supervision of broadband companies. The goal was to offer high-speed connectivity and make internet equivalent to other utilities such as electricity or telephone. However, all that changed since the FCC voted to revoke Net Neutrality rules.
Net Neutrality has been a cornerstone for freedom of expression and offers open internet for everyone. It was disappointing to see Net Neutrality repealed by FCC.

Now internet providers and broadband services can charge astronomical prices from users for accessing different types of content. Similarly, they can throttle the internet, filter websites they wish to block, and conduct deep packet inspection of their users’ activities.
However, VPNRank.com conducted an in-depth research to find ways to safeguard Net Neutrality principles. With tools such as VPN services and Tor, internet users have a chance to save Net Neutrality. A VPN offers multiple servers for connectivity, unlocking any content on the internet. It also offers encryption and cloaks user’s IP address, masking all activities from ISPs.
“Net Neutrality has been a cornerstone for freedom of expression and offers open internet for everyone. It was disappointing to see Net Neutrality repealed by FCC. However, a VPN still offers hope to users. If anyone is thinking it is not a viable solution, then I would suggest otherwise. ISPs could choose to block VPN services, but that would only lead to chaos, as many organizations use it access work resources from remote location,” said Aazim Akhtar, Senior Editor at VPNRank.com, providing an explanation for readers who might think a VPN might not be that useful.
Therefore, Net Neutrality VPN services can be the first form of defense. They are used previously to access content and prevent broadband companies from throttling internet bandwidth. In addition, internet users can take a stand against costly packages offered by ISPs and do not pay for restricted services.
