I do not believe that internet service providers should have the capabilities to control customer's internet usage. Access to the internet was not created by the ISPs and it should not be restricted by them either. The taxpayers, in large part, paid for the infrastructure that paved the way for high speed internet access across the world. Internet service providers should simply charge customers the cost to access that open internet.  

I am a proponent of the government stepping in and improving net neutrality protections. I know that recently a large step was taken by the FCC to repeal net neutrality and it pushed back years of progress and gave corporations stronger profit incentives to restrict internet access in order to earn more profits. Service providers should be able to meet the demand that all customers pay for at any given time. I know there are plenty of instances in which customers might pay for 50/50 and only get 15/15 upload/download speeds. This type of mistreatment of customers should not be acceptable and should have consequences for these service providers. I find it hard to believe that during peak internet usage times the entire infrastructure cannot support the services that it has promised customers. And if that is the case, perhaps they should limit the services they offer so that they are as advertised

Explanation / Answer

Only in recent decades has the term hacking been conflated with “breaking into computers.” Hacker culture traces its roots back to the 1950s and 1960s, and to hack simply meant to understand systems at a deeper level and make them behave in unintended ways. Steve Wozniak (creator of the Apple computer), Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (creators of the C programming language), and Marvin Minsky (co-founder of MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab) were all hackers. That said, I’m going to use the term hacker here to refer to someone with a passion for proactive security research—a person who understands the systems and tries to break them, with good or ill intent, or simply to see if it can be done.
