I'm just waiting for that "special" deal from ISPs where you get to pay for having what you used to get by law. No monitoring if you buy this "extra" package. They just have to price is slightly less than a VPN - and who knows, maybe they'll even offer a form of VPN themselves.
Oh, gawd, I was gonna ask my ISP that. lol! A one stop Internet shop. Seriously, my ISP is actually very good but it'll succumb to the same nauseating downward trend so my loyalty is tenuous. I throw my garbage in the garbage. I don't have the words to describe that my online "garbage" is to be harvested, tracked and examined for others' gain. Edit: What bugs me is what this suggests for the future. Is some of today's backdoors/malware going to be legally sanctioned and justified? I see brainwashing attempts already via the media.
Wasn't there some ISP already that did something like that year or two ago? Offering "premium" non-tracking connection package ? Verizon maybe ? (dirty weasels...)
Right. It was ATT&T: a standard option of $70 a month, and a steeper $99 price for for fibre optic customers who opted out of its web browsing tracking.
