FCC can't regulate prices

Bode, it's not a question of regulators "not caring" (but your headline certainly works as click-bait).

The FCC pre-empted the states so the state PUCs cannot set broadband prices. And since the FCC categorized broadband Internet as a Title I information service, the FCC can't set prices either. OTOH, the FTC and state attorneys general certainly can go after ISPs for false advertising.

If customers believe they've been lied to, they should file a complaint with the FTC and their state attorney general. Is that "caring" enough for you?
