YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Help us cover the political revolution

"The British government has said that it will guarantee a legal right to high-speed internet for all homes and businesses in the U.K. by 2020.

The U.K.’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has committed to giving homes and businesses, regardless of location, the right to demand internet speeds of at least 10mbps, The Guardian reported Wednesday.

The U.K.’s announcement comes as U.S. customers are facing a level of uncertainty after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed the net neutrality rules put in place under former President Obama.

Repealing those rules leaves the door open for internet service providers to create “fast lanes,” which could end up increasing costs for customers to access higher internet speeds."
