How do you feel about Internet service providers trying to slow down the internet?

Some of the countries largest ISP’s like Verizon, ComCast, and AT&T have filed suit with the FCC to redefine what is ‘broadband’ in hopes to lower the minimum speed for broadband service, possibly as low as .256mbps. Average U.S speeds average at 9.6mbps, and in comparison to countries like Japan (92.8) and Korea (80.8) is relatively low. I understand the larger landmass of the U.S makes it hard to provide those kinds of speeds, but lowering the bar just to say: “Hey look, we gave broadband to everybody! and we’re saving a ton of money!” is complete crap.
