Your internet bill could change

net neutrality brick wall

Chances are you pay a flat monthly fee for your internet connection now. Some companies charge different prices for faster or slower connections, but don't limit what you can access.

The recent repeal of FCC's net neutrality rules have opened the doors for internet service providers to experiment with different pricing structures. In theory you could be charged more for a Netflix and Amazon Prime Video tier, or social media networks could be an additional monthly fee. Any changes are likely to start small, as companies test the reactions of customers and see if they flee to competitors (where there are any).
