Changing to 8.8.8.8&amp;#x2F;8.8.4.4 immediately brought it back online.&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#x27;t prove it wasn&amp;#x27;t just a glitch, but it was pretty damn suspicious anyhow, and exactly the sort of underhanded behavior I&amp;#x27;d expect from today&amp;#x27;s telecoms.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>California Introduces Its Own Bill to Protect Net Neutrality</title><url>https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/01/california-introduces-its-own-bill-protect-net-neutrality</url></story>

They are allowed to block and throttle content such as illegal streaming downloads, some torrents, spam, and other traffic that degrades network performance. For example, this bill does not prevent Comcast, At&amp;amp;t, Verizon et al. from blocking port 25 as they have been for the past decade. The bill also does not preclude zero-rating.&lt;p&gt;This bill is a good thing yes, but let&amp;#x27;s not get ahead of ourselves and call this net neutrality.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>California Introduces Its Own Bill to Protect Net Neutrality</title><url>https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/01/california-introduces-its-own-bill-protect-net-neutrality</url></story>
