Looks like Big Broadband’s days of sneaky fees are numbered—now let’s make internet service a public good, not a ransom note.

On the fence here—transparency is good, but banning some fees might just shuffle charges around instead of cutting them.

Clear bills sound great, but let’s hope this doesn’t turn into more red tape without real savings. Show me the money, not the rules.

Aggregate pricing? About time! Let’s make the internet affordable and clear, because everyone deserves to connect without gotchas.

Finally, a bill that tells ISPs to stop playing hide-and-seek with fees. Transparency isn’t a luxury, it’s a right in the digital age.

Government telling ISPs how to list prices? Next thing you know, it’ll be regulating our morning coffee orders too.

Putting all fees in one line is neat, but will it lower costs or just make the fine print look cleaner? Time will tell.

This bill is just a fancy way to meddle in business and punish innovation with more red tape disguised as consumer protection.

If you really want lower internet costs, how about stopping regulations instead of creating new ones to babysit prices?
