Good luck with that... Honestly, I think a lawyer is a waste of money here. If you're in the USA these sorts of arrangements are completely commonplace. It also is common to put nonsense like "you can't talk to the FCC" in contracts, though you can basically just ignore that sort of thing. In any case, in the end the ISP is going to make a unilateral decision about whether they're willing to bend any of their rules for you, and if you don't like their decision your only options are internet or no internet. Yeah, it is stupid, but that's life in the USA. By all means talk to your elected representative. Or, better still, contribute $100k to their re-election campaign as that will get you a lot further. Be prepared to outbid the ISP who no doubt has already made a nice contribution. We can all commiserate about how lousy this is, but you're wasting your time+money if you think you're going to win some kind of legal battle with them. -- Rich
