’AT&T-backed robocalls tell seniors net neutrality raises phone bills by $30’
A campaign to stop net neutrality rules in California is targeting senior citizens with robocalls claiming that the rules will raise cell phone bills by $30 a month and slow down their data.The robocalls cite no evidence supporting the claim that net neutrality rules will raise cell phone bills and slow down Internet service. The bill in question would impose net neutrality rules in California that are nearly identical to the ones the Federal Communications Commission had on the books between 2015 and 2018. Since the federal version of the rules did not raise cell phone bills by $30 or slow down Internet speeds, there’s no reason to believe that imposing similar rules in California would have that effect.
Welp, time to start looking into a new cell-service provider.
Any recommendations, my dear friends?
