    Good news. But let’s not forget with this one in particular, this battle will probably not end in our lifetimes. We let down our guard, and support for net neutrality starts to waver, it’ll get attacked again. Maybe in a different way.

    This one takes a lot of vigilance and determination to keep. It won’t stay permanently “won” any time soon, despite the breadth of the coalition of sorts that supports it. There’s just too much money that could be made on the other side, creates a lot of pressure.

    T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.

    I’m not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they’re definitely more expensive. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.

    You need to opt out of the transition.
