Best on the road internet these days?

There's a new federal rule that should soon help people shop for Internet service. Companies now have to give clear, standardized information about fees and services -- which should make it easier for us to compare offers while shopping and avoid rude surprises later. It goes into effect today for the larger companies and by October for all of them.

There is a change coming as soon as this Month that was stated in that CNN article that may affect some forum members. It is not about the new labeling requirements, it is about the low income supplement program that helps people afford an internet service. See the image below that I captured from that linked article. More investigation will be needed to see if an extension of that funding gets approved this month.
